In fact, not only is it OK to write badly, it can be a positively good thing.
Actually, if you have a really important piece to write you will want to produce the absolute best that you can. However, it is very difficult to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and start writing really well. After a while it will begin to flow. It's only then that you start to produce your best work. In due course, you can go back to the early material and do it again.
The point is, I find that if I don't start off by writing badly I will never get going at all! I have to accept that I will discard all the early stuff, and just remind myself that it is all part of the creative process.
