Among professional authors, John Scalzi has said many times that he edits as he goes along[1].

For shorter academic and work pieces (and back when I blogged) I’ve done this as well, but I do an outline for longer papers first, and then edit as I go. Of course I wasn’t anywhere near nickjj’s level of output.

After Old Man's war I read everything Scalzi wrote and he wrote a lot of short stories and no novels. Maybe that explains it?
