She felt this made it a more artistic process. Personally, I think some songs, like "Get Yourself Together," might benefit from polishing their words/structure. Carole King said sometimes things come easily and sometimes they take real effort. I think in time Haley will mature as a songwriter and learn that "good enough" can sometimes be made "great" with patience and persistence.
This is something that I disagree with Haley's approach. Sure, record it and capture the vibe, but don't stop there (at least on some songs). The Beatles did take after take and polished their songs. Of course, they had all the studio time they wanted, which Haley doesn't, but selective refinement could really pay off.
