haha @danicaswanson probably has more cohesive thoughts on it, but I view it as shaping the text I write, leave, return, reread, see where I sounded like a moron or didn’t say what I meant to, rearrange the furniture in the piece, maybe add, maybe subtract, and repeat 3 more times, then one final time for grammar

Thanks for tagging me. I'm always up for a convo about text editing processes and philosophy. I always step away from the writing for awhile (ideally overnight) between finishing a piece and editing it, because with fresh eyes it's much easier to identify the shortcomings of a piece. I like your succinct summary. Interesting that you repeat your process 3 times, then proofread. That would be on the low side for me, at least when I'm editing my own pieces. When I edit for others (professionally), that's about right.
