Small edits I don't worry about.

Perspective really is important, especially because the end often means I have a better idea where the story needs to begin.<br /><br />But, if you really want to go back and rewrite it, go do it.

I've found what works well for me is keeping a notepad nearby and writing down every comment etc...instead of fixing things.

This may be why I'm such a slow writer and it takes me forever to finish a story.
