“For heaven’s sake, publish nothing before you

“For heaven’s sake, publish nothing before you are thirty. Most of the faults in the poems I have been reading can be explained, I think, by the fact that they have been exposed to the fierce light of publicity while they were still too young to stand the strain. It has shrivelled them into a skeleton of austerity, both emotional and verbal, which should not be characteristic of youth.” – Virginia Woolf.Do you agree?
