Have you ever revived an old project?

I have pulled an old story out of storage before. I read it and immediately threw it back in there, some things should never come out of storage 🙂

I have a few old projects sitting around. I have occasionally thought about maybe going back to one or two that I started on but never got far with to see if I could finish it, but haven’t yet. A couple of old projects I’ve considered revisiting and seeing if I could tweak them and make them better, but i haven’t gone past the “considering” point.

If you do go back to them and end up with a success story, be sure to let me know!

I found a seven year old first draft. It had a complete outline, detailed character profiles and a list of websites for researching topics. It was a solid and well put together plan. I remembered writing it, and getting frustrated about something trivial and scrapping it. I had no idea that it was the most well planned story out,I really I’d ever made. If I weren’t busy with multiple projects already, I could sit down and have a first draft finished in less than six weeks.
Posting here to share. I’m not ready to submit for featured writer at this time but I had to share this story.
I haven’t revived it yet because I’m working on something else.
