In the story, I would like to edit two letters out of one word. "As I lay awake in bed, recalling that memory I heard my Mom's door slam shut downstairs." I accidentally changed the tense. May I please be allowed to take off the d, in "heard" to make it "hear"? It's just a technical thing. I'm confident in everything else other than this technical error.
And the heart is hard to translate It has a language of its own It talks in tongues and quiet sighs, And prayers and proclamations
You don't have to ask for permission to edit technical/grammatical stuff like that. (See original post.) So that is completely fine. I just need to be aware of major (dialogue, character, story, etc.) revisions.

By the way---I edited one little thing in my story. I changed "Maybe I've found that family after all" to "Maybe I've found that family to spend Christmas with after all." Or something like that (sorry, can't remember lol). I got some feedback and wanted to make the intention of that line a little more clear. That's okay, right?
