@astronomerritt I rarely rewrite entirely from the beginning, tho I have on occassion.
A lot of writing advice is just what works for one person that they're convinced will work for everyone else.
Editing garbage is much more painful to me than getting something down in the first place, so I prefer to not write garbage 😅 but also I have been a proofreader & editor for 15~ years and in and out of half a dozen writing groups. My first drafts weren't always clean; I've just had a lot of practice.
