A few years ago I wrote a novel about a girl who creates worlds and shapes them however she wants. It was, I guess I could say, a success; it stayed on the homepage for quite a while. However, due to work and college, I stopped writing it, and now I'm back, but starting over. Do you think reviving an old novel is worthwhile?

This is the one I created back then: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/707477/reborn-as-a-goddess-with-a-world-creation-system/

This is the one I'm doing now: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/2136356/reborn-as-a-goddess-with-a-world-creation-system/

If you feel like it is worth it, it probably is. My first novel, The Goblin King of Eldoria, started like that. I wrote it in my late teens/early 20’s. I found it again as an adult, and rewrote the book. I had new experiences and new worldviews than my younger self. And it made the book stronger. So yes, I feel it could be worth it. But only if it’s something that you feel like you want to do, not because others want you too.

Yes, it is.

I'm literally doing the same thing with my novel.

I do think it's worth it because it allows you to fix what you did wrong before and improve and make it far better than you could have before.

Almost definitely. I wrote Lay the Dragon a few years back. It was... Terrible. Bad pacing, bad dialog, bad... well, everything. I wrote a few other stories, learned my style, wrote DragonBound (book 2), then rewrote Lay the Dragon, and it came out much better.
