To Draft or Not to Draft? That... is the Question

Megalobox Writing Draft
Started this article on Joe and Megalobox and I started thinking... 
Hey there. Quick question for all of you out there. If you post or write articles, how do you about doing it? Do you write a draft and then go over it many times before you write your final draft? Or do you write on the fly and essentially post your first draft? Late last night, I started writing an article for The Domain and started to wonder if I should change how I go about writing, or at the very least, tweak it a bit. For as long as I can remember, I rarely made any rough drafts. Need to write an essay for school? Just put down what comes to mind and submit. Get a short story going? Just start off with the main ideas and add in the details later. Rarely did I ever write something and then go back and make several changes to, "make it better." But maybe I should be... 

I definitely want to hone my craft but should I change my fundamentals? Generally, I'm happy with my writings and I've been told that I have a distinct writing style that is my own. If I were to change it up, would that change my style? Just a handful of thoughts that I had while writing this article. How do you guys go about writing? Do you go through several drafts or do you just post what's on your mind and call it a day? Have you done both? Let's hear it in the comments, friends! Later!
