Manuscript System Checks: Current Build May 2026

 This is my current build for the future passes of the manuscript for book two.

  1.  Flow and consistency check - and plot alignment - emotional lens alignment and identify what to needle.
  2. Narrative pass - action beats, scription, clothing check, movement of items.
  3. 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.
