Ordering of writing furigana in multi-character words


I've recently started writing in a genkouyoushi notebook for practice and I've
been writing furigana along with it to reinforce the reading. I was wondering
how Japanese writers typically write furigana for jukugo or other multi-
character words. Do I write the entire word out first, then write the furigana
for all of the characters in the word, or do I write the furigana for each
character as I write that character, even in the middle of writing a word?

At first it seemed most straightforward to write the furigana immediately as I
write each character, but I found myself saying in my head the reading of
individual characters twice and it became hard to think about, so I thought
maybe it was better to write the whole word and then come back and write the
furigana.

Is there a best practice? Or is it "just do what works for you"?




**I would prefer kanji first** as they pop into my mind when I write. Furigana
is just an afterthought for the convenience of others. But I'm Chinese.

On the other hand, if you're used to the **sound as the identifier of a word**
, I supposed you'd write that first for your convenience as well.

I'm not sure why people want to write kanjis then kana then kanji then kana. I
see you find it a bit disrupting as well.

Either way, since the result is the same for others to see (unless we're
talking about ink and **smudges** ), you should feel guiltless for doing
whatever you want.
