I occasionally go back and read something old I’ve written, at least in part, especially if I get a comment from the middle of an old story and I have no memory of what part the reader is commenting on.  It’s usually some terrible mixture of glee and dread as I read… a combination of liking an odd sentence, wishing I’d gotten over some specific writing foible earlier, and realizing that if anything my writing has grown less complex over time and I really haven’t grown much at all.  If I see an actual typo, I’ll fix it, though god knows I and several betas have generally gone through a chapter several times before I post and I TRY to make it perfect before sending it out in the world, I’m ALWAYS AMAZED at what slips through anyway… in the desire to get things out to readers, we are often all too close to it to see mistakes I might have introduced responding to some other comment.  I rarely make stylistic changes as I reread, even if my style has changed.  I figure that’s just documentation of my journey so to speak.

So if you’re reading through old things and see a typo or some simple continuity issue (I said something was three days ago, but really it should have been four), go ahead and let me know in a DM (not a comment please) and I’ll be happy to take care of it.  If you notice major plot holes or inconsistencies… you can tell me via DM, but I’m probably not going to change anything.  I’m done with that story, and someone might love it the way it is, and I wouldn‘t want to pull the rug from under them.
