That may be true if you are typing from a hand written letter, however I believe if you are creating your work on the computer I found it better to just keep typing and fix later.
1. The computer highlights mistakes and proposes corrections.
2. Your initial draft is far from final and will probably have 10’s of revisions.
3. I found it better to capture my thoughts as I have them rather than correct an error and lose the thought.
I started that way, but soon went the other route, due to the amount of time it took me to go back and edit all my mistakes.
At some point, I just began taking the time to correct my mistakes on the fly. Forcing myself to blind type, made it easier, as I could see the mistakes as they occurred.
It slowed me down considerably at first, but it helped train my eye/hand coordination to the point where I could type with my eyes closed, nearly flawlessly.
As a general rule of life: “Slow down; you’ll go faster.”
I have been typing since I was 12 years old, have a gimp right index finger from an accident (dont type with it) still look at the keys and I do very well, thank you..

This is the method I use when writing fiction. When writing code I slow down and check it.
