I write a first draft of course, then I maybe wait a few days. I do a dual system of re-reading and fixing my work and using grammarly to check it as well.
I write then if I get stuck, look over, catch a typo, keep writing. As I go I’ll make notes in red if I know I need to clean up something and I usually write the most basic version of my thought. Then after a few days I’ll come back then edit, which includes changing words or taking out sentences, switching things around. Then I read over again to catch typos when I break down my episodes. Then one more before I schedule
Hmmm
long story lol
for wattpad I did this:

Hope that made sense xD
Book 2: just working on raw draft, no rereading, editing going on there yet
mmm for this novel 'cause i've already written it, i'm getting a nice set of fresh eyes on it just flicking through it to post, so im catching most of the concepts and sentences that could do with tightening up, but im very much a 'i want everything perfect first go' sort of person. I like to have my plot laid out before I start and i'll agonise over a sentence until it's how i want it, that sort of thing.
Now I'm coming back to it though, and having feedback from what people like about the beginning etc., im getting fresh ideas about how the characters react to events later in the story, so im planning on reworking entire scenes
that print out with the highlighters looks so organised though!! im just staring at a word document with my jaw hanging open unattractively
Its actually a lot of fun. I'm a very hands on kind of person so having a physical copy is helping me catch a lot of things I want to elaborate and change around.
I bet! it's so easy to get lost in a word document, I bet it makes it so easy to visualise the changes (plus arrows and highlights and crossing outs are such low commitment edits)

I'm more of an editor than a writer to be honest. Because of that, my process is quite detailed. I could write an essay right here describing what all I do and why.
I will not.
You are welcome.
In a nutshell, I start with a verbose rough draft in which I've already included everything I might want in the final. Then in the first pass, I cut out large unneeded pieces, rework substantive changes like events and jokes, and change whatever spelling or grammar mistakes I happen to notice. The second pass is all about details. I cut unneeded individual words, reword sentences to make them tighter or more clear, and read each libe twice looking for typos errors. Sometimes I'm satisfied at that point, and sometimes it needs additional passes.
Lastly, I get another editor to make a final pass whenever feasible, because editing ones own work is never very accurate.
That, dear @sxxaint, is why editing is called "killing your children."
I will walk away for a few days, yes. Then I will come back, look over everything myself, and then send to my beta readers. I will make any further corrections needed, check once more, prepare the promotional material (I do all the art/music myself), and then update the novel!
I thought of printing mine but it was be the worst 
I write mine out in my notebook as bullets and they’re in like 6 different colors. If I had a physical copy I’d have so many lines and arrows and smiley faces
But that's part of the fun! I don't think there's any white left on my first page. I'm getting a little better as I go, but its so gratifying to see all those scribbles and colors. 
With a completed draft, I leave it for at least a month before I go back to it. I read through the whole thing, make notes on plot changes then add them. Then I send it to beta readers for more plot edits. When that's done, I do my line edits. Before I post each chapter, I put it through grammarly to make sure I didn't miss anything. Editing takes forever lmao
But I need to be able to read it 
otherwise it’ll be a “color coded disaster” as @kmlangleyauthor put it
I don't edit when I'm writing, if I did that I'd hate it so much I'd never finish it. I write the entire story over a few months, wait on it for a bit then go through and begin editing. You cant progress if you're constantly editing the old, I find.
I edit chapters immediately after I get a good bulk of them together. I run them through a pair of editing programs taking in what the program puts out and making minor edits on my own from what I see and then having a program grade the chapter.
@foxnflames Legibility is for the weak, lol jk
I've only actually truly edited 2 books in my life because I probably will never publish for real and while my first drafts are rough, they're not so rough they don't make sense so I have mostly stuck to one draft and done books. Though I do make notes of things I don't like/want to change as I'm writing it that way if I ever do get back to it and try to polish it, I have somewhat of a guide. Especially developmental issues since I think that's my biggest downside. I have all kinds of ideas that I start, but often forget in the end so it leaves little threads of nothing lying around.
The two books I did edit, I had a hard copy bound on Lulu that I got for winning NaNoWriMo. This allowed me to sit down and read the book as a reader and I made notes in the margins or crossed things out. It helped me quite a bit to get off the computer and not have the urge to change things as I read. And it gave me a nice memento of those books...that are now marked up to high heaven. 
I do let the spellcheck correct me as I write because I'm dyslexic so I make a lot of interesting mistakes. Some will still slip through since my biggest issue with my dyslexia is word swaps (spelling the word right but using it wrong, even though I know it's not the right word for the sentence) and spell check just doesn't always catch those kinds of errors. In fact, it doesn't catch a good chunk of them unless they're homophones. Since I'm struggling to write anything right now, when I do finally sit down to write I'll re-read what I previously wrote and I'll alter things as I do that, but I don't really consider that editing.
I definitely wish I could afford a developmental editor for just one of my books because I think that's where I lack the most.
