As an over writer, the amount of crap I write can be useless to the story, or have little ties whatsoever to the story. I still count it as it sometimes helps when I am stuck on a certain part. That way, I am still writing.

I'd say don't worry about it, as do the rest of these people. But then, I have a feeling my story might be completely different when I finish it.

I am already making editing notes for book one.
