#WritersCoffeeClub 16: How much do you edit as you write, and how much do you leave until the 2nd draft?
Editing while writing has proven to be boring and inefficient, so I've trained myself to follow the mindset that the most important thing is to put the story down on paper.
It doesn't matter if the words are clumsy or the scene isn't working as I expected: I have draft 2 (and beyond) to polish the story and how I tell it.
And I like noting down Ideas for improvements on a separate file.
