Roger Sutton said something similar in an editorial in the September/October issue of The Horn Book. He's talking specifically about writing children's literature, and he has a specific recommendation for those wanting to get started in the field. Also, he's more comfortable with harshing his readers' buzz than I am, so he's much better about laying his cards on the table.
"Don’t even think about publishing until you’ve actually started writing, and don’t even think about writing until you’ve done a whole lot of reading...Deal with it and dig out your library card."
Yes, there's a lot to do.
