Re: Editing Advice?
If your story is progressing to the point where it needs to go, then I wouldn't worry too much about writing too much right now. You can trim stuff later. If you feel like you're getting too far off-course from the plot, then it may help to take a step back and figure out where the story needs to go and what needs to happen in order for it to get there.
I read a quote once in a writing book that basically said that the rough draft is for what you want to say, and subsequent drafts are for how you want to say it. While I do edit while I write, I like looking at it like that. When I edit, I go scene by scene and try to decide what the story needs, what details help the story, and what can be trimmed or said in a better way. Sometimes in my rough draft, I'll spend four paragraphs saying something that only needs one paragraph. But if I didn't write all four paragraphs, I might not know what I really want to say.
