At times I get hit by an inspiration and I'll jot down a paragraph or two to be incorporated into my WIP. I write it down the way it comes to me. I know it can be better written but I tend to put it away for later, hoping I'll find it easier to polish up at a later date.
I might justify this by citing examples of writers saying they do a rough first draft, not worrying about getting the words exactly right, until looking with fresh eyes much later.
Is what I'm doing best practice or am I just being lazy by putting off rewriting it until some other time?
Is it easier to rewrite with fresh eyes, or when the thought is fresh?
