“Retroactive continuity (often shortened to retcon) is the alteration of previously established facts in a fictional work.” – definition of retcon courtesy wikipedia
Once Witch of the Colonies is sold, edited and printed I will not edit the book in any significant ways. I won’t. I just don’t trust older versions of myself to have a better perspective on the work. A different one, sure, but that’s all.
One significant disadvantage to this approach? I feel pressure to be sure I’ve set things up properly for the two novels that’ll follow.
