Feel free to publish and then continue tinkering your story after it is live. This may be a cardinal sin in some people’s view, but I do it all the time!

Also, if I do an extensive rewrite, or chop out a large section, I will always save the earlier version of the story. You can always repurpose your thoughts into another article.

You never can tell what people will find interesting, so it is best to get your writing out there!
