gmw: I'm the opposite to you; I love editing, but hate writing the first draft. I like having something written which I can get my teeth into. Pre-computers, I would go through the draft with a green ballpoint, scribbling "YUCK" over badly written paragraphs and adding little numbers which refered to notes I kept on sheets of paper, detailing what needing to be changed. I then spent time rewriting section by section.
Editing is easier, but less satisfying, on screen. Structural changes are simpler to make too.
