This is interesting advice. I have heard it said before that while songwriting, usually the first thing that occurs to you is closest to perfection and the more you think about and tweak it, the farther it will move from that inspired place.

But as a writer (like as in pen on paper/hands on keys), all my education and practice says write and then rewrite and rewrite and rewrite and rewrite, and each time you edit you will come closer to something actually meaningful that others might want to read... and in this way, the only question is at what point do you need to let something be done vs. forever keep making it slightly better, because your ideas will never reach a maximum amount of "honing."
