"Don't rewrite until you've finished first draft"-
i've always heard the advice "don't rewrite until you've finished oyur first draft," but i find myself guilty of this.
sometimes it's just my perfectionism, but several times now i've found holes in the plot/ badly thought out parts that just need to be redone for me to continue. after rewriting chapter one, which i posted in "share your work," i am discarding chapter 2 because the plot contained therein simply doesn't work. i hit a dead-end in chapter 5 and i'm fixing up the beginning to help me past it.
is this normal practice? is this a violation of the rule? is the rule even correct?
