Show HN: Avoid editing while writing your first draft
This might be an unpopular opinion but I always edit while writing my first draft. This is how I've written 250+ technical blog posts and over a million words worth of course notes.I basically write a couple of sentences or paragraphs, stop, review, reword things if needed, change things around and move on. Then at the very end I'll give it all a final reordering / fixing until I'm happy with it.I feel like I can't progress to the next chunk of an article until the prior section is 95% edited because what I write next depends on what was previously written.Does anyone else work like that?
