I generally disagree with the slow-down-to-write advice, especially if you're writing professionally (Academic writing is professional writing, yes.) and tell my students (I tutor writers) to just write, don't worry about any of those things; just write. Otherwise you'll get so hung up on perfect sentences and perfect word-choices and perfect grammar and perfect citations and perfect punctuation that you'll not actually write much of anything...the writer James Joyce is known to have been a notorious writing-perfectionist of that sort; despite writing three very-long novels, academics have figured it out...over the time he wrote them, he averaged something like 6 words a day after all the revisions, retractions, changes and editing. Once you're done writing, edit. Write first, edit second.
Any of those things you are concerned about can be fixed by a good editor. I assume that you are both capable of identifying quality writing when it is not your own and a decent editor in your own right. If so, find a editing-buddy, someone to read your finished work before it sees the light of day purely for the purpose of catching those errors. You in turn do the same for their writing output. (You'll find after you've been dong it for a few weeks that you can knock out 10 pages or so in the time it takes to microwave lunch or walk to the bus stop...it's not an onerous process at all because you're not really reading for comprehension.) The key there is that you cannot criticize content or argument, that's not what this process is for...this is editing syntax, citation and grammar. Having someone else read for these will always catch things you missed as the writer.
Take the red-marked copy and revise based upon the notes. If you question an editorial decision, pick up the phone and ask why they made that decision. It's fine to disagree about these things...ultimately, you're the last call because your name is going on the author-line.
