You gave up on Pro Writing Aid?That's an interesting way of her doing things, Skip. Thank you for sharing. I especially like her thoroughness by printing.
I HAVE to edit as I go along. I do several passes as I'm writing new words because I don't rewrite and I need the manuscript to be editing & proofread ready by the time I'm done. Everything--plot wise--needs to be as is. So editing as I go along is what helps me to add things, change things, fix typos, etc. Then I put the manuscript in my Grammarly and Hemmingway editing software, and finalize the process with proofreads and line editing (in reverse order lol). This is often why many times when I have big word count days they are followed by smaller word count days. Like, for example, yesterday I spent my writing time editing chapter 12. Still not entirely done with it...which is where the new word counts come in. But I don't count my editing words in NaNo. That's cheating to me. I only count fresh words.
