I'm curious about the bad habits you mentioned. My daily routines involve lots of correspondence, note taking, and programming, and I've always assumed it was simply good to build high productivity habits around things of known utility in the area of "text emission". I'd be very interested to hear the details of a theory that explained a connection between "daily writing practices" and "an expert's abstract conception of good writing habits".
I'm also curious. It flabbergasts me that someone would think not practicing writing is better writing practice than practicing writing.
Also, every other writer I've respected has given the advice that one should write every day if one wishes to improve.
I would like add, one should write every day and get vicious dispassionate feedback if one wishes to improve. Otherwise you are shouting in an empty canyon for the echo of your own voice.
