May Writing Meme: Day 13
May. 13th, 2011 11:01 am13. Optimally, how many times does your work go through the revising process?
1-3 times depending on how the first draft looks. (call it Level 1, 2, and 3 revision)
Level 1 revision is basic SPAG, typo-check, completing lost paragraphs, and minor rewording where necessary. Not much adding or taking away.
Basically, the story is done, time to make it presentable. This is usually the last step before posting.
Level 2 revision would be more major scene adding/deleting/reshuffling, as well as going through and playing around with rephrasing. My Unohana fic is currently undergoing these revisions.
Level 3 revision is a total rewrite of the draft. The story itself doesn't change much at a basic level, but the PoV is wrong, or the characterization is off in a way that throws off the whole story. Basically, I just wrote the draft that definitely wasn't what I wanted, so now to write the draft I do want.
