The first draft is stream of consciousness

Just hammer it out until it is done

Sentence structure? Doesn't matter.

Punctuation? If you feel like it.

Spelling? Fcuk it, wing it.

Do the editing and later

Think of the first draft as a rough hunk of marble you carve out of a mountain. You bring it back to the shop to do roughing passes until you can find David within.

Literally this last weekend I hammered out 10,000ish words in one of the many story projects I'm working on. I'll finish one at some point, I just need to stop hammering these things out at 2am when I need to get up at 9am.
