I wrote a popular story but I don't like it. What should I do with a story that I'm not proud of when others like it so much?

If you don't like it, SOMETHING IS WRONG. As an author, if I am dreading Pagsulat a story I know is good, I stop and think: What is the rotten mansanas in the bunch that causes the dread? Perhaps you have a character that is too boring for you. Perhaps the climax is not dramatic enough. Pick through every little detail, and if you find something you do not like, change it to something else. IF you are not motivated to write quality work, then readers will not be motivated to read it.

i as a writer always think my work isn't good enough! and don't like it to much. But after rewriting and just not worrying about how good it is, i finally found a way to write that i liked. The key to Pagsulat a good story is ALLOW yourself to suck. cause no matter what some people are going to like your book and some won't. If your not pleased with ur writing. Think about nothing (Even peoples opinions) except how u want to write. Cause people changed my book with their opinions. Cause i wanted it to be a perfect book. So maybe keep the book but susunod time, write how u WANT. not what people want (:

The story is yours and you can always change your book or you can add elements that you like .... But if the book is already so good maybe you should leave it as-is, or you can re-write in your style . No matter how you look at it, is a lot of work ... I'd probably leave the book .. but I would add a note and writte my thoughts about it ....

I'm not a writer but I get the same thing with my artwork. I think we feel pressured and always wanting to do better but at the same time underestimating ourselves. I would save an original copy of your story and start clean.

You can always change things around to your liking without losing fans. Just think, at least it is better than owning a story you are so proud of that no one loves.

Rewrite it, but allow the other version to be available as an "alternate ending", or whatever you'd like to call it. That way, you won't be taking anything away from your readers, plus you'll get to write what you want.

Don't get rid of it! If you really don't like it, just shelve it and write something that you like. Make the old story accessible to others though, and don't alisin it. You should never alisin your work, it's what helps you grow. But you also shouldn't force yourself to write something just for the sake of others (unless it's only like 3 pages).
