I edit as I write, by reading back what I wrote before moving to the next scene. So the "first round" practically happens as I write.
"Editing" means that the first time around I slowly read through the story and fix passages that are awkward, unclear or simply bad. I clean out repetitions. I eliminate typos.
However, I do not rewrite.
Maybe that's what you meant.

Yeah, I'm off social media for the night as well. This is tragic, and no amount of speculation is going to help; indeed, it may well cause innocent people to be hurt.
Please, if you have "theories", keep them to yourself until the _facts_ are known.
“Imperialism and racism are central to the capitalist world economy. The barbarism is a feature, not a bug. Imperialism is not a side-gig, not an over-reach committed by greedy individuals, it is a structural feature of the capitalist world economy."
