No-one can answer that for you but you, do you find that the end result justifies the practice? I can't write in fragments because they either A. don't fit when I come to stitch the whole together, usually because of incompatibilities of style, and I have to start again or B. they take on a life of their own and turn into new and different stories that may or may not relate to the original intention. But that's me that may not hold true for you, just like I can sit down and write thousands of words in a couple of hours but only once every couple of months, I have to seize on my inspirational periods when I can where a lot of people I know can sit down and write every day.
