Stuck in The Rewrite Mode

Thought I'd share the check list of things I look at when rewriting a book.


The story -       
·         Have I written enough?
·         Is there emotion on every page?
·         Are the Five Senses felt on each page?
1.      see
2.      hear
3.      taste
4.      smell
5.      touch
6.      Color and texture included
 ·         Plot line –
1.      strong hooks
2.      compelling inciting incident
3.      intense climax
4.      satisfying resolution
5.      Analysis the value of each scene
 
·         Character Development
1.      their journey
2.      character arch
3.      Dialogue – unique for each person
 
·         Backstory
1.      Too much or not enough
 
·         Pacing
1.      Using MSWord to check readability, which increases pacing.
 This is only the first list of things I check.

Hope it helps,

Tina
