I'd certainly say the latter! for example, just this week I composed a small piece which is named "A Dancer's Interlude"............it's very early on.......captured it on my phone so I wouldn't forget a few things in there with picking pattern and time signature.
I rarely record in the summer, as I'm really busy and it's anything but quiet in the neighborhood.........but practice/compose a fair amount. My guess is that 2 minute piece will easily wait to be recorded sometime in October or later with a lot of practice and tweaking as I find out how it "wants" to sound and what guitar will eventually get the call to record with.
I find I'll wait weeks or months before posting anything here or on Soundcloud! I'm in no hurry!
