How much is enough revision?

In one of my first posts, Still figuring things out, I mentioned the three day rule Ben Law recommends, which is that you finish your work, then put it in a draw (figuratively or literally, depending on your preferences) for three days and then look it over with fresh eyes. That way, you are able to pick up awkward syntax, grammar/spelling, and holes in your work.

My eyes are so fresh

While Ben's advice is excellent for assignments and such, I'm not sure I'll bother for the blog. Not that it's not worthy of revision, but I have so many things I want to write about and I only feel like I've accomplished something once I've posted it. Basically, I'm too impatient.

But also, I don't want to overthink it. In Tina Fey's words, "You can't be that kid standing at the top of the waterslide, overthinking it. You have to go down the chute" (p123, Bossypants).
(Tina seems to be solving a lot of my problems right now.)

She also said, "It will never be perfect, but perfect is overrated. Perfect is boring" (p123). I couldn't agree more. I should probably let most articles sit overnight, but after that, I'm just going to post and move on. I'm the type of person who thinks things through a lot anyway, so by the time I've sat down to write it, the logic of the thoughts is already there.

Au revoir!
