Nicolas Cole argues that editing unpublished work wastes time because you lack real feedback on what matters. Publish first, then refine based on what your actual audience responds to. Speed beats perfection.
I don't think that it is worth spending time editing or rewriting anything that you have not put live yet. I think working on something privately in your room, in your house, and obsessing over how perfect it is before you put it live is a complete and utter waste of time. And the reason I think that is because you don't know what you're editing for yet. So you're sitting there and you're swapping adjectives and you're moving stuff around, but like ultimately the only thing that's happening is you're relying on your intuition and how you feel in that moment. The moment that I shifted my strategy to a more iterative, fast is better than perfect, I accomplished so much more.
