Hello folks,
Being a novice author, I often wonder how much a rewrite of my initial chapters would benefit my story.
At first, I thought it would be a great idea; having my current writing style be reflected across my work would definitely help with style continuity.
However, as months passed and I gained more experience as a writer, I realized that if I rewrote those earlier chapters now, then I would have to rewrite them again later, when I had improved even more as an author. And so-on.
Now, my current stance is to just move forward with my story. As my writing evolves and I settle into my own style, changes in my skills will be reflected in the more recent chapters...
What are your thoughts?
I've also considered a rewrite to garner more views, and honestly, I do think it would help with reader retention. So, a rewrite, maybe even a large edit, might be necessary later down the road.
Then again, if people aren't interested in the story, they just won't read it.
