Absolutely.

The single best piece of writing advice I ever absorbed was "Don't try to write (i.e., "create") and edit at the same time." Add to that Hemingway's "Everyone's first drafts are crap. Even mine."

Get the story down in whatever way keeps your narrative flow going. Once the lava cools, go back and cut and polish and rearrange.
