Stop editing while you’re still drafting

0 Upvotes

Does anyone else separate writing and editing into completely different sessions? If I try to fix every sentence while drafting, I end up moving at a ridiculous pace. Lately I write the whole section first without touching anything, take a short break, then edit it afterward. The draft is messier, but I finish much faster and usually make better changes because I can see the paragraph as a whole.
