#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.
