I find all of the talk of “Write Now!!! Edit Later!!!” interesting. I understand that PragProWriMo is designed to help authors-to-be to get into the habit of writing daily, and to encourage them to churn out content during these 30 days. But surely there are some benefits of editing early…
Are there any votes for interweaving the process of writing with the process of editing? I’ve managed to make my 2-page quota each day (I started early), and I enjoy the editing process. I think that editing text a few days after I write it is productive, and helps me immediately in each day’s writing. The idea of writing 60 pages without looking back sounds a little daunting and treacherous to me…
On that note, I also like styling my text after writing a chunk of it; monospacing and italicizing various terms makes it more readable to me (which is why styling is used in the final product…), and therefore easier to edit.
