#WritersCoffeeClub 2/27. Do you edit while you write? What are the pros and cons?
I do:
Pros:
- It makes editing easier later.
- I have a better idea of what I am trying to say, so rearranging words and sentences is easier.
- I am more likely to notice that I have omitted something.
- I am used to it.
- It slows me down a bit so I am clear of where I am going.
Con:
- Very occasionally, it will stall the creative juices.
- Judged by people who write and edit later.
