Or maybe, by now, you've grown as a writer and you see flaws in the writing. Then correct those flaws. Make that story the best you can write at the moment. Creative people have many ideas. Not all of them are great.
Some stories are a learning processes for the creator.
And some are too advanced for the market. This story may simply need to go into the closet for a while. Give the story a rest. When you bring it out again, the time might be better and editors might be more accepting of the premise. You may have created a line before its time.
