On the Basher/Swooper working style, I believe there value for each type to incorporate a little of the other type. Through most of my education, I was a Basher. I didn't write drafts, I wrote start to finish, but it was never as good as I'd wished.
Later in life I began to deliberately practice some of the Swooper techniques, and my writing got more satisfying.
It's possible the difference is somewhat generational as well, because the Basher style is suitable for writing with the somewhat cranky typewriter on paper, because rework is harder. Today, it's almost trivial to mix and mash our writing because all it takes is ctrl-C ctrl-V.
Unless you're William S. Burrows, in which case, just don't get too near me with those scissors. https://www.faena.com/aleph/cut-up-the-creative-technique-used-by-burroughs-dylan-bowie-and-cobain https://www.faena.com/aleph/cut-up-the-creative-technique-us...
