- Get your edit letter from your critique partner.
- Go over everything you need to fix.
- Wallow in the enormity of what you have to do.
- Eat your feelings in ice cream.
- Look at that edit letter again, this time while taking deep breaths.
- Translate your edit letter into actionable checklists.
- Figure out a solution for each issue you need to tackle.
- Make some tea.
- Tweet that you're in your revision cave for the foreseeable future.
- Put on your noise-cancelling headphones and favorite playlist.
- Revise.
- Keep revising until you're too tired to continue.
- Rinse and repeat the next day.
- And the next.
- And the next.
- Until
- revisions
- are
- done.
How do you revise your books?
