discussion - thoughts on re-writing
So recently I've had an old obsession revive - HP. And I have a WIP that I'd actually kind of like to finish, maybe. At least make a stab at it and see if it's something I'm still interested in.
BUT
The first part of it is the first slash I ever write, the first *fiction* of any real length I ever wrote, and it kind of makes me cringe to even think about reading it. So I'm debating whether I should re-write that one first.
So I can't decide what to do. On one hand, it's where I started, of course I've grown since then, everyone's first thing is awkward, there's no shame is just starting out, it shows me how much I've grown, etc etc etc.
On the other hand... it's painfully embarrassing.
Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions/personal anecdotes/experiences to share/etc?
