In Hubris at Zunzal by Rodney Jones, Jones argues that all writing is good (or at the very least, workable), and that there is "no image like the image of language." He invokes a scene of throwing a bottle into the ocean, and then realizing that he "was not finished" with the bottle. This can be seen as a metaphor for writing, or more specifically throwing out writing only to realize seconds after it is too late to recover it that it may not have been so bad. Jones is telling the reader not to trash work, but rework it, to save it for later.
