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?
I reread my first two existence books before starting on the third. I absolutely love doing that. It's wonderful having the characters in my head. It's also great to remind myself of the little dots that I plan to connect in the next books.
