#screenwriters, when you're tackling a rewrite draft, what's your method?

As in, do you open the existing and make adjustments? Do you print it and make notes (or some digital variation with an iPad)? Do you start fresh and consult the previous draft as you go?

@kbenwrites I go through the draft on the computer focusing one scene at a time. Paper drafts are good but I have a tendency to make a shorthand note and not have any clue what it meant when I get back to the keyboard. Anything other than that last suggestion though seems good.

@coridanmiller I’ve definitely had those moments of looking at a note and wondering what top secret code I was writing in because it’ll just say something vague like “she remembers Saturday!” What the heck happened on Saturday?? Why did she forget until now? What is going on?!?
