Yes, the distance is key. I don't have a very long timeframe but it's been a few weeks and I'm shaping the draft, trying to make it flow.

The text to speech thing really helps because instead of me starting to skim it reads every word and I notice wrong words/clumsy sentences, pauses where there shouldn't be (stray comma/full stop) or the reverse where I need to add punctuation or start a new paragraph. It does give me more distance in a way I find hard to explain, so when I've done such an edit the finished piece feels more "done" somehow, a way of helping me let go of it.
