I see a similarity with sculpture but really isn't it the case that the more time you spend on writing ( even rubbish) the better you will get. I go to open mics and am always surprised at the number of people who will read out a poem they've just composed. Some are really good ( particularly rap) but others less so but they do love the buzz of performing.

Writing is a never-ending apprenticeship, so no writing is wasted. Presumably the more you sculpt the better sculptor you become too...
Open Mics are very variable; you just need to go into them knowing what will be read will be of variable quality. The buzz is great though!
