See, so your method is the way that works for you. I've read a lot of books on writing, on how to write, on the best way to write. There's something to be said about the discipline required to sit down every morning and write for a certain amount of time. I have nothing against it; I've worked that way. The schedule I have now doesn't allow it, but that's all right.
Sure, finish what you start, if you want to finish it. For me writing is such an organic concern that forcing it never really produces anything other than something that looks and feels forced, and that's nothing I'm ever going to be particularly proud of. To me it matters less to say "I finished this!" than "I'm happy with this." Your mileage may definitely vary and it probably should. I just get so tired of anyone assuming that the way it works for them is the way it needs to work for me too. I can guarantee it most definitely does not.
