Which it why letting it rest too between writing and editing it good. Gives you more chance of spotting both big and small issues once you have that distance.

And that's one of my biggest downfalls. I will let something go for a while - like as long as it takes my betas to get back to me :p But I edit as I write, and by the time I finish a story, I can't stand to look at it any more! LOL There have been things I've spotted after posting, and I've corrected the typos, etc., but... for the most part I've been pretty satisfied. I'd be more satisfied, I'm sure, if I would set it aside for a couple weeks or a month and then go over it again, because there are things in some of my stories that I cringe at :p
