Why I Edit As I Write (Even Though Everyone Says Not To)

hi. it's me. the writer who edits mid-sentence. the writer who literally cannot move on from chapter one until chapter one feels right. the writer who rewrites the same paragraph fourteen times before letting themselves move to the next. yes i've seen every single "just write, fix it later" post. yes, i love the idea of messy first drafts. and no i will not be changing

okay so listen everyone, here's the thing: i DON'T think editing as you go is inherently bad. it's only bad advice when people try to universalize it. writing process is personal. maybe for you it's a fast draft in November and editing in february. maybe for me it's hyper-fixating on every single sentence until the scene flows like water and then moving on with peace in my soul. BOTH ARE VALID. BOTH CAN WORK. both get the book done.

people love to say "don't edit while you draft" because, yeah perfectionism can slow you down. listen, i'm not editing for perfection, im editing for immersion. i need to feel like i'm inside the story or I'LL SPIRAL! if i know the voice is off, pacing is weird, or the character feels flat, i can't pretend i don't see it and continue. i can't push through. my brain physically will NOT LET ME!

when something sounds wrong or looks wrong, it breaks the spell. it kicks me out of the scene like a bad special effects in a movie. no seriously!! and once i'm out it's really hard pt get back in.

also, i'm gonna be real, i hate the feeling of finishing a draft and knowing the entire thing is a flaming wreck i now have to sift through. i HATE that feeling. it makes me never want to open that doc again. i need to be able to re-read my work and go, "okay yeah, this slaps a little." that's how i keep going. a little dopamine hit every few pages. if you call that toxic? i call it necessary.

side notes: there's a weird gatekeeping vibe around speed in the writing world. people act like if you're not cranking out 50k in 30 days, you're "not disciplined." but i'd argue that forcing yourself to write in a way that actively hurts your process isn't discipline. it's sabotage. if editing as i go keeps me working on a project long-term, keeps me engaged, keeps be BELIEVING in it, then it's a valid method

my best scenes? the ones i took slow. the ones i sculpted sentence by sentence. the ones i paused to read out loud, rework, and reimagine until the tension finally clicked. yeah it took hours. yeah it was annoying. but that scene still holds. it still makes me feel something. and that’s worth more to me than blasting through 10k of filler.

edit while you write. reread the last paragraph twelve times. fix that one clunky sentence before you let yourself go on. obsess a little. it’s fine.

this is 100% just a silly vent and not that deep but I’m not actually a fan of the terms “I’m so late” in fandom space, because “being late” implies that there is a window, a period of time where fandom is “alive” and while I’m aware there’s a period of time where a fandom (mostly new media) is considered mainstream and popular before people move on to their next interest/hyperfixation. the thing about fandoms—for me—is that they aren’t about popularity or going viral on tiktok. so what if you discovered your blorbo after the hype died down and joined the fandom after most casual viewers have already left? fans who are still active in the fandom aren’t gonna call you “late”, they’re gonna be so happy and excited to have a new member in their community.

fandoms are kept alive by fans, by you and me. not how mainstream or popular the media currently is.

fandoms are timeless. as long as fans still talk about blorbos, as long as fans still create fan art and write fanfics and as long as you engage with posts about blorbos (you don’t have to make fan art or write fanfics, just support artists and writers by letting them know you appreciate their works), your fandoms will always stay alive.

Absolutely hilarious that Dream could have any system of governance he wants in his realm, and he chooses to have one where he has to do paper work. And as far as the audience is told, he is the only Endless to structure his realm this way.

Befriending an artist who you deeply admire probably never ceases entirely to feel totally bewildering and surreal.

Count reprints, later editions of the same book, etc. If you have a copy that includes multiple books in one volume, you can count that, but do not count sequels/etc on their own. You can count ebooks and audiobooks if you possess the files in a permanent way (borrowed and streamed don't count).

3 and 7 for the fic ask thing?🫣

3. What was the last thing you looked up for a fic?

In the exact wording: how pregnant can you be and still take a bath

Before that, it was: garden party attire in England

Two very different vibes! Admittedly, for two different fics.

7. What fic are you the proudest of?

I feel like I talk about it all the time, but as heart for heart is my crowning glory. I hadn’t written fic in 8 years when I started it. I had never written a fic over 5k before it. I had never completed a chaptered work.

But I did! I finished it! All 175k of it! And it took me…two years? But I did it, and I am still astronomically proud of myself for it.
