Have you ever retconned a scene?

I am playing a cyberpunk adventure and played out 2 scenes, but afterwards I wasn’t happy with how the scenes played out. Has anyone ever retconned or ignored scenes and essentially start over? Solo journal rpg are proving to be tougher than I thought

I've seen a good number of TTRPG systems that have little sections talking through this. Whether it's because something didn't go as you'd hoped, is getting off track, or has stumbled into uncomfortable territory that you simply don't wish to engage with, there's a lot of encouragement to use tools to rewind scenes, massage them in better directions, or otherwise continue to tell the story you want to tell.

Obviously in a broader sense, you're constantly balancing that against the game side of playing within a ruleset and sticking to those rules, but you're playing to have fun and if you have more fun nudging yourself back to where you find that fun... well it'd be rude not to, wouldn't it? :D
