Mary, I have often found that even if what I write is, as a whole piece, unusable, parts of it can usually be salvaged for later chapters or other works. That's why I rarely delete any of my draft parts. I have multiple sub-folders labeled "Previous Versions" on a lot of my stories. It's surprising how often I find stuff I couldn't use in story A but fits perfectly in story G.
Whose signature tells us that a writer should write every day because while one may edit a bad page, one cannot edit a blank page? Very timely counsel, especially when the big WB (*gasp* Writer's Block!) shows up.
And I still want a signed copy!
