New stuff or fix old stuff

[DismaiNaim]

I'm walking into a conundrum where I've been spitting this story out for going on three years now, and in the process I've learned and grown considerably as a writer. I've gone back and rewritten my first 20 chapters give or take, and I'm proud of the result.

The problem is that takes away from time I have to write new content. I feel in my heart that the new stuff is so much better, and I want the old stuff to be as good, but then I go back to 1-2 new chapters a month. WTF

Never look back.

It takes a long time to not be embarrassed by the stuff one's written five years ago.

I don't think it's a bad thing looking back. It shows you how much you advanced. on my other platforms i prefer to let the old things like they are because it shows me how much i advanced. If i want to redo it, i do the whole again. Like i copy one chapter, make it better, do the next one. But i always leave the old one.

But if you want maybe try to give you like a schedule. Not to get lost on it. Like one day i rewrite, one day i advance my new series.

Hope this helped

I put 70 chapters out in my first fanfic before I put it on Hiatus... I want to rewrite it at some point... but my current fanfic has my full attention.

I am not rewriting due to embarrassment, that is a factor, but because I started fast, and my tempo didn't slow the entire time... I wanted to put in some slower moments, time to explore the worlds before things went all to hell. As it stands now, its a sprint for 70 chapters.
