We’ve had six months since April to travel about in the land of re-writes. How has it been going?
The revision process for me has been filled with moments of euphoria followed by heartbreak and tears. I’ve settled somewhere in the middle if you average it all together with some sort of writerly happiness barometer.
How are all your revisions coming along? Drop me a line!
The Young Writers Program is a fun, free writing adventure for both teacher-lead student groups and young solo scribes. On the YWP site at http://ywp.scriptfrenzy.org, these brave young writers will find all the resources they need for an unforgettable month of scriptwriting and creative exploration.
Script Frenzy brought out the funny, the dramatic, and the not-so-polished in many of our scripts. And now it's time to make the leap from Draft 1 to Draft 2. There are no hard and fast rules on how to approach a rewrite, but here are a few ideas to help get you started.
Sleep. This is #1. You deserve it. Plus, a bit of separation between you and your script is healthy. After a few weeks, you might even forget every word that you wrote, and that is a good thing. It’s important to look at your script with fresh eyes, as a new reader would.
Re-read all in one sitting. Don’t take notes. Really. Put the pen down. Trust us—you don’t want to waste time correcting punctuation in a scene that may end up being cut. Re-read without editing, and just take in your script as a whole.
