I'll throw mine in, too. I've often given this advice (although I must admit I haven't always followed it, which gives me opportunities to fall at devotees' feet and apologize). That's one of the advantages of writing: we can set it aside for a bit, go back to it, and make sure what we publish is the closest we can come to what we really want to say, and in the way most likely to have the effect we want.
