I would only start over if you feel really unhappy with what you've got and are not enjoying writing it at all. If it's just that you're not sure anyone would ****?t to read it ****? you're happy to continue writing, then I'd do so. Alter bits a little if you ****?t, ****? remember that they are not expecting a masterpiece. You are not going to be able to write a polished novel in a month, and you don't have to let anybody read it if you don't ****?t to - the word count is automated. In this case, they're judging purely on quantity, not quality. You can always go back and ***?dy it all up if you think you have the bare *****?s of something ****?d at the end. If you're really stuck for what to do, why don't you try writing a long ***?nfiction for a ***?ndom you really love, so that you already have the characters and their backgrounds? Or you could try rewriting a ****?k you were disappointed with the way you ****?ted it to go, or a parody of a ****?k you've read? I'm not entirely certain of what I'm doing yet ****? I think I might do one of these. There aren't any restrictions on what you write - it's basically just that you should feel you're writing a novel and above all enjoy yourself. I hope I helped a little. ****?d luck with it!

Yes, it is a ****?d plan. Not sure what you mean by " To tell your friends about it?" (As in my friends or ***? in a your friends and what do you ****?t to be told?) If you don't believe in your story, how do you expect others to believe in the story? If an author believes his/her story is dumb, why even write it? Treat your audience ***? yourself to some extent because most authors write what they like to read and if you are wishing to ***?rner a following of readers; which any author requires in order to be ****?cessful whether it is for ***?n or profit, otherwise why write and share?
