Sometimes when we begin selling our writing we think we've conquered it and can write fast and put it out there just as quickly. Also, knowing how long it takes to research, write and edit makes it tempting to try and do quick jobs in order to increase our dollars per hour earnings.
Yes, writing and editing can be time consuming. If you are writing on consignment, with no promise of pay, it can be challenging to earn a living.
Still, it is really best to let your piece simmer at least over night, if not over a few days, before publishing it or sending it to your client. Usually, when re-reading your work with fresh eyes you will see glaring errors and discover changes to make that would make it read better.
Why waste rejection when you could wait a day or two and send in a stellar piece?
