Woohoo! 821 writers answered 16 questions all about the often murky process of revision. LET'S GET INTO IT!
0:00 How this revision survey came about & how I chose the questions...
1:41 Do you revise (or edit) while you draft?
2:29 How long do you usually take between finishing a draft and starting the next one?
3:56 Do you reread your project in full before starting the next draft?
4:49 When working on the 2nd draft do you....rewrite, revise, or....?
6:24 After which draft do you usually send the project to beta readers?
8:09 Have you ever printed out your draft before?
8:59 Do you use individual scene cards (either physical or digital) to rework your plot while revising?
9:33 Do you use color coding to help you revise?
10:15 Do you feel like you have a set revision process?
11:17 How many drafts does it take before you feel like the BULK of you revision work is done?
12:57 What type of projects have you revised before?
13:51 Do you revise by category, chronologically, or by biggest issue?
15:29 IF you revise by category, which do you tackle first?
16:03 How do you track your revision (or set revision goals)?
