I've piddled around with this thing in my mind long enough. I shall have near-perfect words!
Actually, I mostly don't care about the word count, just the progress. I expect many if not most of the scenes comprising Part I to be relatively short. But I still may use NaNoWriMo and November as an excuse or jumping off point. That's my goal, anyway.
Like you, sometimes when I write by hand it's to get it down on paper, not because I think it's good or the best way to write it, and then fix it when I type. Most recently, I printed a story I had started in the middle, because it was easiest, and took it with me while cat sitting so I could write after thinking about how to start it while looking at the rest of it in printed form.
When I type a story from scratch, though, I try to fix it, at least to some extent, while typing. Then I fix it again when I continue because I usually go back, read, and revise what I've already written.
