Answer to Question 1

If you stop to revise as you compose the message, you are likely to forget an important idea. The primary purpose of drafting is to get your ideas down on paper quickly. Revising and composing at the same time limits the writer's creative ability to come up with ideas.

Answer to Question 2

Compose the first draft after completing the planning phases (planning, audience analysis, and organization). Let the ideas flow without restriction; keep writing without worrying about errors. Do not combine the drafting and revising phases.
