This is interesting. Of course, it all depends on the execution. I maintain a literary diary, which I flag at the time of writing if I find the writing merited, and that I subsequently brush up and post months, sometimes years later. For something like the July 4th shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, which is where I live, I recorded my feelings immediately, but I know they will take a considerable period of time to write about adequately. It is a very helpful process, and I think the rhetorical import of a slower process is compelling.
