I've made a few minor mistakes here and there, but most of them I've been able to fix. Those are the "glaring errors" or details that break the function or narrative of the story, or mystery. One example of those is the color of Lizzy's eyes. Typically I just reference features from the real actors, unless they don't apply. When the eye color changed in the story due to recasting, I went back and fixed the original line. It was something that could potentially add something into the overall mystery that would lead to the wrong answer or conclusion.
Most of the time, with the details, I can remember them pretty well, and sometimes the actors will help out if they remember something differently. One day I hope to have an assistant who keeps track of that stuff and is sort of a walking WA encyclopedia, as I do plan on doing more WA stuff in the future. We'll see. It's all about having the time and money to advance a little further.
