How to separate writing from editing
So far in my journey through the 5-Year Plan (still new, approaching the end of Y1M2) I've learned that I am absolutely not a pantser—as in, if I don't know where the story ends, I tend to get really frustrated / discouraged during the writing process.
My stories usually start with a vague (or sometimes, very vivid) picture of the climax I'm shooting for. And I actually really like discovering how to get there in the outlining phase of my story. I'm still fairly loose with it though, so as I'm working through a scene in my outline I might organically change it to an entirely different scene instead. Regardless of whether it's a planned scene or on-the-fly, I'm always thinking of what I write in terms of the overall progression toward the pre-determined climax.
So, my questions are:
Is it wrong to do it that way? Should I be shutting off that part of my brain that constantly strives to fit all the pieces together?
How do you personally separate the writing phase from your editing phase? Do you find a healthy mix of both on any given day? Or do you assign one day for writing and an entirely different day for editing?
