I’ve got a 10-year old unedited draft of complete romance trilogy. Wanna start writing again. Shall I edit or write something new? Returning to writing after 2 years gap. I wrote when book series were a thing which now apparently no one has patience for when it comes to romance or so I’ve been told.
So a little context. I started writing back in 2014. Initially started on Wattpad but took things offline sometime around the pandemic. Life happened so I never actually got to finish my works back then. I’d be writing and rewriting and just like that it took me 10 years to wrap up. I planned on editing it so I could think about publishing, but due to personal circumstances I’d to drop that plan. Been away for the past two years. Haven’t written a thing. Or edited. What do I do now? Shall I pick up the editing or write something brand new? Maybe on Wattpad and build readers because I read on so many forums that unless you’ve got a huge social popularity and large number of readers, no publishing house or agent would touch your work. I don’t have any social following because I never thought of it, plus I’ve been to consumed dealing with my job and keeping life stable that it never was my priority. Please suggest.
