Why is it a good idea to hold off on revision while writing a rough draft?

Writing and editing take place in separate hemispheres of the brain. Trying to do both at once can lead to confusion and frustration.

It's best to let the Words flow out of your brain without restrictions. You can edit and revise anytime, but creativity isn't something you can put up on a shelf, then take down later and pick up where you left off.

When you're hot, you're hot, so keep going. When you're not, that's the time to do your revising and editing.
