PlotWriMo helped you separate from the word level of your story to concentrate on the overall story level. In every story’s life a time comes when an assessment is needed of what you’re doing with all those words. What is the whole of your creation?
Throughout December, you spent the month identifying and cutting and adding and organizing and refining and pacing the scenes of your story at the structural level. You’ve found what are your writing strengths and weaknesses and what are your story’s strengths and weaknesses by creating Plot Planner of your story. (A Plot Planner works well at the pre-plotting, writing and revision stages.)
That is the revision process.
With all your story elements arranged just right on a Plot Planner comes time to rewrite your entire manuscript from beginning to end. Now that your plot and structure are set, you no longer have to use all that left-brained power, or at least not as intensely as during the revision process, and seize again your area of strength — writing words.
A Scene Tracker supports you as you rewrite.
A Scene Tracker is where you track the scenes as you rewrite, beginning from scene 1 and progressing all the way to rewriting every scene to the end. You better understand your writing weaknesses and use your strengths to bolster your confidence. One way to help ensure you’re rewriting balanced scenes is with the help of a Scene Tracker that includes all 7 essential elements of scene:
1) date and time
2) character emotional introduction and development
3) dramatic action
4) goal
5) emotional change
6) conflict and tension
7) thematic details
