Do you feel overwhelmed by the idea of revising your hot mess of a manuscript? Do you wish you had an organized, step-by-step process you could follow?
That’s why I’m here today: to show you my exact 3-step process to revising a messy first draft of a novel! Chances are, you’ve just finished participating in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and chances are, you have a pretty messy first draft on your hands. How do you go about turning it into the masterpiece you intended it to be? That’s what this week’s video is all about.
A lot of writers feel lost when it comes to revisions. Where do you start? How do you know what to delete or what to add? What is the best method of revising? SO MANY QUESTIONS!
In today’s video I’m walking you through my exact revision process and the questions I ask myself to create a guide to follow – so that I stay organized and focused. In this video we cover…
- Why the most important first step is to do NOTHING
- How to create a “revision guide” and what questions to ask yourself
- Behind-the-scenes look at my revision process
Let’s talk.
Let’s talk revisions! What does YOUR revision process look like? What do you LOVE about your novel? If you use my guide questions, let me know how it went in the comments below!
