Is it right to rewrite a first draft if it's story isn't finished yet?
it's what i do
it's why i've never finished anything

(well, not exclusively why)
no
don't do it
just power through and finish your story then go back and revise

It better be.
I wrote book, 447 pages.
Then decided to change small but critical detail at the beginning.
I am now at page 13 of a compete rewrite, that is borrowing a lot from the older draft.

>tfw haven't gone back and read it yet

But first draft of anything is always shit, aight?

Vision and ability - if one is missing wait before you write. Or at least dont expect what you write to be good.

Horrible advice
You should always get started first and let an idea grow. Then revise.
Your way will just lead to anxiety

It's usually shit relative to how the final draft will be. It's not as though you would intentionally make changes for the worse.

Only if your first draft is written by hand and you make edits when you're typing up sections of it before you've finished the whole thing.

THIS is horrible advice.
>let an idea grow
Obviously, try writing anything of length without developing the idea as you go. I am saying if you start without vision and without at least an idea of the story you want to tell you will usually get a disjointed and abstract mess.
You should have high standards in your art.
