After the first draft of your book, you've got thousands of words on hand. Before you send out your words out into the world, you want to make sure they’re the best they can be. That’s what Revision gives us. My personal writing process mirrors the transformation of turning a house into a home, moving from the initial "Dirty Draft" through to the final "Polish Draft." This method, born perhaps from my days as a stay-at-home mother, has become my roadmap for navigating the complex process of revision.
Under writers meaning you write lean in your first draft? So do I. Identify what you're leaving out. For example, as a trained screenwriter, I'm used to writing action and dialogue. I'm lean on description. So I know that I need to put clothes on people and furniture in rooms on the sweep.
I think for me it's subplot. I have a hard time thinking what else could there be to cause conflict 🤔 description too though, all blank walls and no clothes haha
Thank you for sharing! Any tips on "the sweep" for underwriters? I find there is just so so much to tackle it is hard knowing where to start.
