Should you just finish the rough draft first?
I can't count how many times I have rewritten my story and never finished it entirely. I've been told numerous times to just get the rough draft out and finish the whole story before I edit and try to make it better. But I'm not really sure that is sound advice anymore. What is everyone else's opinion or method on writing a story?
I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay~Isaac Newton

I think you should just try different ways until you get one that works best for you. But for me doing a draft never works well because my ideas are always developing and I end up making changes that require me to rewrite great portions or even nearly the whole story. So I just make an opening that works well and keep going until I decide it's good to stop.
It`s up to you. Earlier I didn`t habe any plan of the story. Recently I have decided to change it. I am working on the text I started writing about two years ago and my point of view has changed.
