Something else I read was "Write what you want to write." This was helpful to me because I often want to write a certain genre or event but I don't because I'm not sure how it will be received. I write for me. Lesson learned: if I'm writing for me then I should write what I enjoy.

I've read a lot of stuff by him and his son Joe Hill on the subject of writing; I think they both have really great stuff to say about it. They seem to honestly care about helping people understanding the craft.

To do that I had to try a lot of methods and approaches, but I work a lot more effectively now.

So, yeah, just get the story OUT first, THEN revise it.
Writing every day is important too I think.
