Writer's Digest just posted an interesting article about why it's good to write an entire first draft before going back to the beginning to revise.

I don't edit as I go, but I do usually stop around 20K to evaluate if I'm on the right track. This is when I decide if the POV and tense are working and if I need to revise my outline. I don't change the words unless I've decided to alter POV or tense.
Very helpful link. Thank you.
I totally agree with this!
Good article. Thanks for sharing. I'd also add that its best to write the first draft in one attempt, without a massive break at any time - picking up the plot again later is harder than you'd think!
Makes sense to me, but I have trouble not correcting things as I go along. Really like the last one. I'll try to remember it will get better. Thanks.
