Of course, the rewrites are inevitable -- as many as it takes.<br /><br />What I usually do is read the entire script out loud first, listening for the quality of narrative and making certain the plot is moving with every scene. My suggestion is to look for grammaticals last, because as you say, you may have to remove chunks of work and all that time spellchecking etc. was for naught.<br /><br />It's funny how all writers are so different. I enjoy rewrites because I know it's just going to get better. But it does require a lot of dedication. The investment now will be paid back manyfold in the end.<br /><br />Good luck! I'm sure it's getting better every day! :))petra michelle; Whose role is it anyway?https://www.blogger.com/profile/03474448747236205303noreply@blogger.com
