Sooo, I've been in the process of "fixing" it, but guess what? I'm going to do what you do! What I need to do is learn all the ins and outs of Word. Thank you for sharing such good information.

I am really still in the process of finding my process LOL but I'm beginning to see the value of starting with a skeleton and continuing to fill it out. I've been adapting a novella from a screenplay I cowrote, so it's got the plot and dialogue but not much else. I'm enjoying that and I can see how taking another step further in writing it all again, might work great. Thanks so much for the idea!Glynishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764754822702091594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-73562558686203582192022-02-14T18:14:53.063-05:002022-02-14T18:14:53.063-05:00Hi Tonya! this article has a good explanation of t...Hi Tonya! this article has a good explanation of the different types of edits - https://www.archwaypublishing.com/en/resources/the-different-types-of-editingMeezCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082724442387837601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-77193433158225358162022-02-14T18:13:33.700-05:002022-02-14T18:13:33.700-05:00Hi Jan!Hi Jan!MeezCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082724442387837601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-35051984244432719452022-02-14T18:13:14.814-05:002022-02-14T18:13:14.814-05:00Hi Jenna!

I read and re-read my manuscript multiple times, making changes as I go, but I can see how rewriting the story would give me the space to make changes that I might not notice in a read-through.<br /><br />Thanks for the tip!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-18871799359059744082022-02-14T13:44:50.909-05:002022-02-14T13:44:50.909-05:00Hi Kristi-
When you say 'write the whole thing...Hi Kristi-<br />When you say 'write the whole thing all over again' so bluntly it does make one gasp! :-) But you're right. I do something similar to what you do, though I'm a slow, fairly deliberate writer so a lot of things end up staying the same. In the end, it is less stressful to do it this way rather than having to make substantial changes under a deadline. And, as you point out, once all the decisions are made it is less anxiety inducting to go through it again. Also if you're a word nerd--which I am-- it can actually be kind of fun. Thanks for reminding me not to take the methods that word for granted :-) Now I'm off to take a look at your lovely books!Jenna Nighthttp://jennanight.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-53008493855558744732022-02-14T13:01:33.469-05:002022-02-14T13:01:33.469-05:00Happy Valentines to all!

My brain can only do so many things at one time ha. I do believe I will try this when I get to that point. Thank you for the tips.

It's kind of meh right now, so I'm looking for ways to revisit it and bring more to it. This sounds like a lot of work but a lot of fun. And rewarding.<br />BTW and FYI, I submitted my nonfiction local history book over the weekend and am ready to get back to said fiction WIP. THank you all for your encouragement. Did you know there's a function on Word that makes automatic footnotes? Yes, of course you did.
