friends romans flist people: to post or not to post?

I posted this post about whatever happened to my writing the other day, and birdgerl (or however she spells herself these days) suggested that I try finishing something. This seemed to me very good therapy. She said, write something, finish it, get used to writing crap, and do not post. Her idea was that it was good to get out of the feedback-trap and just get back into the swing of things by writing crap and not angsting.

All of this is very good advice. Except I discovered one thing about myself: I miss writing, but more specifically (and I hadn't realised this when I did that other post): I miss posting. I can't write crap just for myself! I need to share the shit!

So what I did is this: today I sat down and said to myself, "self", I said, "I'll give you one hour and in that one hour you must finish something. Egal was." So the hour went by and then another hour went by and now it's half past ten in the evening and I am not finished! And to get my mind off things I decided, fic help me, not to write Dudley/Draco but to write a backstory for how Karl met Dominic (backstory to my k/d opus, never posted, much angsted). I thought -- well, never mind what I thought, it was probably all nonsense because I just couldn't hurry through it in one hour. I gave myself 1/4 hour for the set-up and another 1/4 hour for their first meeting and so forth, but I've only just got up to the first meeting and am on page ten and, as I said, it's half past ten so I'm going to go to bed and read Ursula Le Guin.

But I want to finish! I am convinced that birdgrrhl's advice is sound and that I need to finish but I feel anguished about going to bed without posting the unfinished crap I've already written.

So here's the question: Is it better (more therapeutic?) to post the half-baked text and get up determined tomorrow to finish and finish and post part two? Or is this tempting fate and should I leave it on my hard drive and finish it tomorrow and post it then?

And should I hurry on through or take my time and linger?

I have already condensed some of the back-backstory. I have pages and pages of all this stuff and I've distilled it down. But still!

So:
