Possibly Being A Little Obsessive :/

Even though there's only 5 stories on my account, I like to go back and read them. See what's changed in my writing style, see what needs to be imporved by comparing it to newer stories and seeing if I make the same mistakes, those types of things. But for some reason, I look and how I write names drives me insane. For example: "Junmyeon ah" and "Junmyeon-ah". They're both the same things, it's just one has a hyphen and one doesn't. And for some reason, that drives me insane. I now write them without the hyphen, but for some reason the first stories I ever posted on this account have the hyphen. And now I just really want to go and remove the hyphens, I'm pretty sure it's bothering me a little (read as: way) too much. And I'm curious, am I the only one who does this? Who reads past work and sees a difference and then immediately wants to fix it? I'm curious, do others do something like this along those lines or am I just weird? Oh well, but enough of the rant. This post was pointless and I'm sorry for taking up any of your time

I think its good that you always reread and check your work . That means you are passionate and responsible towards your work :)

With hyphen is better to read than without hyphen, lol, and I believed correct grammar. But no, you're not the only one, I do go back and read my stuff, almost every time I want to write a new chapter and before I update, even after I update I go back and reread them a few times. Then again, I do write stories so I can read them later lol. However, writers/authors should be their first reader, so it's good that you have a good habit going on, going back and re-reading your stuff to see what changes or catching grammars and typos, etc.
