I've been there done that, although I had fallen in love with my English teacher, and I turned in a couple of stories that the main characters teacherxstudent (her&I) actually ended up together, and I followed the papers mandates, so I got A's, and she made some comments on the side of the paper, commenting upon the scene or her views about what the characters did!! And my final paper she graded it an A++++!! I received 120% in her class, meaning I did ALL the Xtra credit! I was also her T.A.! But I hope she got off in my stories? ☺️ But I'm liking the fact that your rewriting and noticing that at the time you wrote it, you can see the errors and can now correct it!!!
