Well, I'm not saying you shouldn't use any dirty words. No, it's writing properly from the beginning. Clean the text up continuously. Don't postpone this even if it just the first draft. It's easy to think you could leave this for later, but you will be sorry.
Because sitting there with hundreds of pages with grammatical errors, misspellings, and half finished sentences can be the final straw that keeps you from ever finishing the story.
And you can't get anybody's opinion about it this far because it won't be readable.
And you don't get any faster as a writer if you don't practice getting the grammar and the spelling right - continuously.
I'm using an application called Grammarian for the grammar and the spelling. It has a couple of bugs, and it isn't perfect. But it's much better than the built in grammar and spell checking on the Mac, and it's better than the one that comes with Microsoft Word.
