Creating the outline
- I don't re-write my whole book for a second draft. Instead, I go through and leave notes both in the document and on an outline as I read through it for the first time since it was finished.

- Within my outline I have a colour-coded system for each plot point, arc and other big picture things that need to be woven through the chapters.
