Hello on Friday!  How is the writing going today?

• I thought about my fic once or twice
• I wrote
• I did some planning and/or research
• I edited
• I've sent my fic off to my beta
• I posted today!
• I'm taking a break
• I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

Discussion:  Have you ever run into the problem of discovering continuity errors in your story, after it has been posted/published?  How do you deal with that?

In my early days of writing, I once discovered that, after I had killed off a character, I had used him again much later in the course of a long multi-chapter story.  This was discovered after I had published the chapters.  After I got over the embarrassment (and the irritation that no one reading the story at the time had actually noticed, either), I went back and rewrote the later section and made it a different person.  I had the satisfaction of knowing the problem was fixed, and that if anyone else read the story, it would be right.  Since then, I have usually been able to catch myself before I write something that disagrees with something I wrote previously, which is one reason I like having a detailed outline reminding me what I've written and where I'm going.
