This is my current build for the future passes of the manuscript for book two.
- Flow and consistency check - and plot alignment - emotional lens alignment and identify what to needle.
- Narrative pass - action beats, scription, clothing check, movement of items.
- Trim unnecessary items + proof read
Method:
1, 2, 1, Verify, maintain a problem list and consider if it needs systemic (manuscript-wide) changes. Repeat as necessary. Finally, proofread.
After that it's off to beta readers then another process begins. I find that a lot of what makes being a human a human is our incredible ability to problem solve. That is why you must arrange as you flow. Anyway, I hope someone finds this useful.
