I've done a mixture of both of those. When I first started writing, I would write it all out on paper, then, as I typed it up, I would make revisions on sentence structure, flow, etc. it was pretty effective.

Interesting. I've also read that writing a draft long-hand (on actual paper! WITH A PEN! savages....) engages a different part of your brain. I think it was Neil Gaiman who wrote about it. He does all his initial drafts in pen.

I think part of the question would be whether you're talking copy-editing for mistakes, or editing for content/flow/storytelling purposes. It would be overwhelming to completely re-type just to catch mistakes (AND MAKE MORE!!!)

I know it sounds horrible. Like I said, I've never done it, so we'll see how things go when I finally get around to trying it.

Subs - oh dear god. I don't know if I could do that. I'd lose my mind. 5k words and counting and I've got a sequel already planned for this. I don't know if that's possible. *laughs weakly*

The person who posted it claimed that you will automatically find yourself revising things; that she didn't believe it, but tried it and it was more comprehensive and fluid than picking the thing apart to edit.

I read something on one of the writing-related Tumblr blogs I follow that I'm going to try once I get through the first draft of my current WIP: it suggested not editing but RE-WRITING, i.e., print out a copy and start retyping.
