Revisiting Old Works #IWSG

Thank you to Alex Cavanaugh for starting the Insecure Writer’s Support Group, where we share and encourage all writer people.

I appreciate this month’s wonderful co-hosts: J Lenni Dorner, Victoria Marie Lees, and Sandra Cox!

February 4 question – Many writers have written about the experience of rereading their work years later. Have you reread any of your early works? What was that experience like for you?

Every time I would re-read my debut novel, With Good Behavior, I felt a cringe vibe.

So I convinced my publisher to revise and re-release the novel seven years after its debut!

But I have a different reaction to my later novels. Revisiting my characters is like hanging with old friends. Sometimes their flaws are apparent, but I often remember what they mean to me. I feel proud of their accomplishments. And I squish them.
