Goodreads asked Colette Davison:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Colette Davison Get it down! Seriously, self-editing is one of the worst habits of any writer. First drafts aren't supposed to be good (if yours are, fantastic!), that's what editing is for. However, if you don't get the first draft down, in its entirety before you edit, the chances are you'll never finish.
