have a question.

Can I re-do the story iv started?

[Krista]

Rewrites can always be done, being happy with what you bring to readers is most important... so to answer your question: Yes, you can always redo your story. Doing that will be a whole new experience though, with a lot challenges.

 

Good luck.

Absolutely! Although, it can be painful. The hardest part is throwing out stuff. (Be sure to save the original as a computer file, though.) One of my creative writing teachers suggested "pruning" 30% of the words when doing a rewrite. He was a strong advocate of the notion that each word, each beat, each lilne of dialogue, etc. must "carry its own weight." Have fun!

Absolutely it's okay to do a re-write. I'm in the same boat as you are with one of my more popular stories. I feel the need to rewrite the story completely. I'm just to lazy to get to work right now, and having 10x more fun with another story that i'm writing.

I knew you had a good reason.
