I find it half boring and half unpleasant (due to noticing errors) whenever I read stuff I wrote, and I often find myself re-using material I've written in online debates, which requires re-reading to take out things I have changed my mind about. I wish I could feel flow while doing it.

Same here - if I wrote quickly, I'll see things that need rewriting, and if I already edited extensively, I'll be sick of it.

I'm actually surprised that most people here seem to have the opposite feelings!
