Right now, I’m in the process of revising the first few chapters of the second part of my novel series. I’m using a customised version of @CA_Hawthorne Novel Scan. So far, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how much more this method helps me get out of the chapters. It’s still too early to discuss the benefits of this method in depth. But even now, I like how it forces you to read a chapter through different lenses.

If you’re not yet familiar with the approach, I recommend the blog post in which Christina introduces the Novel Scan:

By the way: Thank you very much @CA_Hawthorne for taking the trouble to write down your revision process and share it with us.
