It seems like I'm constantly adding plot elements or changing things around with my WIP, but that's probably because I'm trying to come up with a workable book outline by Sunday.
It got me wondering, though, do you ever consider your published work(s) and think, "Oh, I should have added a scene in which Tom is pitchforking hay when Anita sees him from the house and is stunned by his muscular back." Or, "Preensworthy would have said something at the press conference about the nuclear threats in the 50's. Why didn't I add that?"
Is it hard for you to leave well enough alone when you're really, truly done for good? (This would apply if your book is out of your hands now but hasn't hit stores yet, by the way.)
