As Wesley Moon pointed out this is the place to discuss about rewriting.  He pointed out that"I think rewriting is a forgotten part of the writing process."

He is right.  I've seen ten thousand books on writing Screenplays and hardly, if any one rewriting.  I believe this is where the real writing begins in the rewriting process.  I am tackling rewriting at this moment.  I am outlining my Screenplay I already have and just finding my strong points, but in all it is a hard process because there is not much on how to go about it, so in a way I'm lost in the jungle, if you will.

One thing I have learned is this:Copying and pasting and deleting is not rewriting.  That is editing and that is NOT what I want.  I want to rewrite.  Meaning;if I have to I will trash most of my Screenplay a nd start over if necessary.

I have 9 Screenplays to go after this to rewrite.  The one I am doing now is my very first one I wrote five years ago.  

If any of you can give me any kind of tips, tricks, consoling, sympathies, or just straight advice.  By all means, please discuss in here of what you do and what you know about the rewriting process.  How you yourself go about it.  Maybe it will help me from the mistakes I may make before I go deep into it.

Thanks in advance.  And thanks to Wesley for pointing the where to discuss.

Try this thread:

http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1169692243

And there are probably several more if you go looking for them.

Try the "Search Board" function on the bottom left of the main "Screenwriting Class" board (although all the main boards have this function).  


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!
