I'm still greatful for the tips you gave on Konrath's blog, LJ.

I can see the advantage of control, but there's also the issue of rushing to publication too fast. As a writer, I wouldn't want to make a book available within days of finishing it.
I normally let something sit at least a few days if not longer - then read through again to look for holes and errors once it's no longer fresh in my mind.
