Related to the "word vomit" aspect of it, I've found a general rule of "wait at least 6 months" for the first edit pass to be helpful to me (rather than December my "National Novel Editing Month" is closer to June). From my experience I often am too critical trying to revise it immediately and having distance and forgetfulness helps a lot to better spot the jewels in project and polish them rather than dwell as much on the dreck and "word vomit" which you can simply rewrite or even delete. I was surprised when I mentioned it last night at a write-in how many hadn't considered forcing some distance between (very) rough draft and trying to make a proper first draft out of it.
