“I want to keep loving writing. That’s more important to me than being published.”
You couldn’t have said it better, this is exactly how I feel… At the end of the day, the love and passion I have towards writing and my story is way more important than the number of words I put down that day.
I’m so glad I discovered your blog, consider me a faithful reader of yours from now on and good luck with your writing :)

I like this a lot. Putting words down on the page may be the most important part, but it’s not the only part of writing that matters.

Sounds like a good idea to me!

I also find critiquing during some of the time when I’m not writing teaches me as much (if not more) than when I’m writing because it makes me step back and look at a piece on its own merits rather than my perception of how I see the story in my head.

I walk away from critiquing with all kind of ideas for how to make my own stuff better.

I consider all aspects of the writing process to be writing, so even when I’m reading in the same genre, I consider the time spent writing. Plus, it makes it easier for me to justify reading for pleasure. :-)
