Would you take an editing break?

[Deleted member 68927]

So, I am editing my first long fanfic, and I am thinking that back as I wrote it, I knew nothing about how one should write. And, to be honest, if I look at it again in, let us say, 4 years after I am done editing it now, maybe I will think the same.

The story I am writing now is almost done. So, I was thinking, is it cheating if I take a writing break for a while, and edit my old books? After my current WIP is done with, I mean. Perhaps for a month, then I can write something again, then another month of editing.

Would you do something like that? I mean, drafting is like eating chocolate ice cream, but those stories could be so much better, if I brush them up with my current writing abilities. (Not that they are anything to write about, but now I have a second grammar checker, and I think my English has gotten a bit better.)

Happy writing! =)

I don't know. Might be. The only time I check the days of the week is around Friday XD
Ah,

I remember now. But that was for just one story, and now I am speaking about a whole month of no writing. And as I edit this story, I still write.

As long as you love your work, then edit away while taking a break from other stories! No point in working on something you don't enjoy!
