Because if I magically had 48 hours in a day, I'd go back and rewrite them all. There isn't a single one that I don't look back at and see things that look awkward or stilted that *could* be improved if I had the time.

My first choice, though, would be my very first story. I wouldn't change the plot itself, which I'm actually quite fond of, but...well...I was an early writer, technically, and it very much shows. It reads a lot like my story outlines now. Were I to rewrite it, I would want to include better descriptive detail and richer characterization.

Of course, back in those days, I could crank out a full story in a matter of weeks. So there *was* an advantage to being a less-skilled writer. ;-)
