An author usually does not know what he really wants to say until after he has said it clumsily two or three times; and when he recognizes that his exposition is thoroughly bad, then he may be able to cleave to the essence and express his message more gracefully.
-- Lester S. King, Why Not Say It Clearly 60 (1978)

Well said. Except, I have that problem when I speak. It's much harder to go back and "cleave to the essence [my] message more gracefully" once I've already blurted out a few lines foolishly (sprinkled with half-a-dozen "likes" and "ya' knows," of course).
