There's also the ever popular: Do you want to "Be a Writer" or do you want to write?
If your goal is to "Be a Writer", it is more important for you to be seen doing writerly things, to go to conferences, to hang out in coffee shops with a pile of scattered pages or the latest, shiniest laptop, while you mutter suitably writerly things under your breath.
If your goal is to write, you might also never submit your work. But at least you'll write and finish it, so your heirs can get rich off of your efforts. :-)
