If you don't do some editing while writing a first draft, but instead defer your intent to make those corrections, you will fail to execute some of those corrections later.

The virtue of editing on a computer is that you can easily correct as you go. If you don't think that's a good idea, you might as well go back to a typewriter or handwriting.

By the way, I understand that editing while writing disrupts some people's "flow". But that doesn't mean that we have to write an entire larger work in a flow. We can switch to flow mode the granularity of paragraphs or sections/chapters.
