Hey there,
I'm working on a rather large piece of fiction and I've been posting it as I work on it, however I've had my attention brought to a number of errors. Mostly those that're going to require a re-write of the material. So I'm considering going back to the first few chapters to make them flow better, but I'm not sure if I can handle writing 3000+ words a day and then going back to earlier chapters and editing.
To give you an idea, I just crossed 80 thousand words (woohoo) and I'm roughly half way through where I want to be. Editing, of course, will cut that down quite a bit.
None the less, I'd love to hear thoughts from people who work this way. Is it worth doing or should I just come back to it with fresh eyes 'when it's done'?
