Absolutely. One of the best editing tips I give and recommend to writers is focus on clarity before perfection during the writing stage. Constantly editing while writing can interrupt the flow, slow down and make the process feel heavier than it needs to be. A simple and practical approach that helps a lot is reading sections out loud afterward. It makes awkward phrasing, repetition, and pacing issues much easier to spot. Also, don’t put too much pressure on the first draft. Most strong manuscripts become strong during the revision stage, not the first pass.
