@hannahGE_ Hi Hannah, Trying a new approach and writing everything first on Google Docs before posting it on Wattpad. Before I would write one full chapter and edit ... takes some time to do that. Then I tried finishing the novel without editing which was rough because I had the urge to edit every time, I uploaded a chapter.
But still I was making constant mistakes that I never got to fix. So, in short, I'd say it's up to an author of how she or he would want to update a novel. You have to find what works for you because what works for one, does not necessarily work for another. Test it out first. As mentioned, ... write as you go!
Hope that helps!
