Good writing happens in stages:

  1. brainstorming
  2. drafting
  3. editing
  4. revision
Don't edit your writing when you brainstorm for ideas. Also, feel free to add any ideas that occur to you while you write your draft. Whatever you do, don't stop to revise your work during the drafting stage. There will be plenty of time for this later. While creating a draft, you should simply concentrate on getting as many ideas down as possible. Later, during the editing and revision stages, you can concentrate on deleting the ideas that don't work for you and expanding the ones that do.
