"Work expands to fill the amount of time available to do it" (Parkinson's Law).
Writing under the pressure of time constraints works. Otherwise it is easy to procrastinate - and perhaps never get your great novel written.
For writers who haven't heard of National Novel Writing Month I highly recommend it. Writing a 50,000 page novel in 30 days is fun and you can do it! There are no prizes except the recognition of the achievement. There is no time for procrastination - you get it done!
Later, with revisions you may find your 50,000 words are like an outline and you can "flesh out" your story into a longer, more complex novel.
