Do it. Hands down.
I wrote a story once... I was twenty something chapters in and realized that the older chapters were, for lack of a better phrase, shit. My writing had improved immensely, and I had no clue how I was able to post the old stuff and actually think it was good. Plus, there were plot points I no longer thought were relevant.
So I took the whole thing down and re-wrote it (well, technically, I'm still writing it... it's been a long journey) and I am infinitely happier with how it's turning out.
Yes, we do post things on here for others to read, and yes, we want their opinions, but ultimately, we write for ourselves. Or, at least, we should be. If you're not happy with what you're writing, the story will suffer, and you won't be pleased with the final outcome.
So the short answer: go for it. And take as much time as you need until you feel like it's worth posting. I'll be looking forward to whatever you end up writing whenever you have a chance to do so :)
There's nothing worse than writing something you're not totally sure about.
Look at me,(please no negative comments for what I'm about to say) I had to do an entry for this contest, and guess what. I still haven't finished it. Why? Because first of all, I'm still not done, and second, I'm not giving in something that I'm not sure of. Oh, and another thing, the contest is over. Guess I'm kind of late.
All I'm saying is that if November in the Seventh is getting in the way of your baby, the most important thing right now, then you should put it aside. Your baby is crying out to you Kristen. Give it attention.
As for November, I'll have to agree with the other users. Re - write! Just remember that I'll read it over.
I rerally hope this helps, Kristen!
