Do you guys write scenes you know you will throw away?

I wrote stuff that I had to completely re-vamped because at the time that I wrote it I was so focus on getting to the mid-way point of the saga or my "favorite parts". I didn't like how the two characters met and how their relationship flourished... There was an embarrassing amount of disjointed dialogue between them and not a lot of scenes to support that relationship. It was almost like I grabbed two actions figures, smooshed their faces together, and bellowed at the top of my lungs. "YOU ARE MARRIED NOW!" Who needs context?

Anyways, I feel like it is okay to do that. At least putting something down is better than nothing and you can still use the "throw away" parts as idea fodder. You read it, keep some parts you like and cut out the ugly bits. Just post when you have a solid episode.

Though...not all episodes can be great...especially when Tapas cuts me off before a really cool scene starts.
