Re-“visioned”: Now What? How to Rewrite

PlotWriMohelped you separate from the word level of your story to concentrate on the overall story level. In every story’s life a time comes when an assessment is needed of what you’re doing with all those words. What is the whole of your creation?

Throughout December, you spent the month identifying and cutting and adding and organizing and refining and pacing the scenes of your story at the structural level. You’ve found what are your writing strengths and weaknesses and what are your story’s strengths and weaknesses by creating Plot Plannerof your story. (A Plot Plannerworks well at the pre-plotting, writing and revision stages.)

That is therevisionprocess.

With all your story elements arranged just right on a Plot Plannercomes time to rewrite your entire manuscript from beginning to end. Now that your plot and structure are set, you no longer have to use all that left-brained power, or at least not as intensely as during the revision process, and seize again your area of strength — writing words.
