I can edit if I type 1, backspace 3, type 1 backspace 3 and so on.

But I don't like this whole thing of never editing, never looking back, move forward and break things anyway.

Yeah, that was intentional. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I just want to say that it's not that you never edit. The point is just to get your thoughts down on the page first.

I used this to write my first book and it took 48 hours. And then I spent months editing it before I published it.
