Fix it in Post
In my freelance business (video/photo), we often say "we can fix that in post" when there's something that's better left finished than reshot. I find I have that approach in writing. Get it all out and then fix it in post. How about you? What's your approach? When writing your first draft, do you edit-as-you-go or get everything out in one shot?

First draft should be from beginning to end. If there are errors, I'll fix them if they have a meaning for the plot. But I want to finish, and then edit the smaller stuff afterwards. Writing the first draft is what's fun. Editing is what sucks (IMHO).

@Kimberly Stebbins Just get the draft down. Then you can always fiddle with it. But it's THERE, darn it. You've written the book. That's how I roll, at least.
Tools of the trade.
What are some tools you use for your writing?

A laptop, a digital radio and a notes app on my phone for ideas. I'm pretty old fashioned.

@Timothy Colomba Usually, 1950's and 60's music, classic Rock N Roll. But for the two pirate novels, I've listened to sea shanties. :-)

I just want to say that I’m having a great time chatting and getting to know you all here and in the Writer Therapy Sessions. I can’t wait to get them up here for you to watch! You’ve got a lot of great insights to share. Message me if you’d like to participate! It’s a lot of fun (and no joke I could talk to you all for hours).

“Bag of Bones” by Stephen King. The best “writer novel” I’ve ever read, and the main character is very close to me in mentality and expressions.

Currently I have just finished the second part of my pirate novel series, and went back to work on Tempus Investigations part 4 while I wait for the first editors.
