If I'm writing something, I'm writing it once. That "prewriting" stuff they teach in schools just slows down the process and makes you overthink your choice of words. I take the same "1 take" approach with code with the idea being to write the best solution on the first try. Why waste time writing something bad just so you can fix it later? That doesn't make any sense.

As I'm writing, I do go back and make changes as they pop into my head. But once I'm done writing it, I'm done unless I notice an obvious mistake after the fact.

1. You don’t take any notes or make any bullet points?

2. > As I'm writing, I do go back and make changes as they pop into my head

This contradicts the idea that you only write once.

3. You don’t get feedback on your first finished version and make changes?

Don't think of the first iteration as "prewriting" and instead think of the subsequent iteration as "editing."
