I really respect you for being so gracious! It's a rare writer that reacts like you just did.
I agree with all the things that JLS said as well. Those were exactly the
examples I was thinking of.
Do you have a beta-reader? Things like this are exactly what editors are for!
Many times, a professional writer will have a draft of a story, and there will be one scene (or one joke) that could throw the whole thing off balance. Generally, due to being so close to the work, and having put effort into creating everything, they won't be able to see it. Thus, an editor has to catch it.
There's no shame in mistakes like this happening. My own fanfictions would have a bunch of problems in descriptions if I didn't have my beta around! ^_^
I'm sure everyone will understand if you want to take more time! Good stuff is worth waiting for.
