What is revision in writing? How does revision in writing work, and how can you use revision to improve your story?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revision in writing is a part of the process where you take feedback and decide what changes to make in your story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read more about revision in writing and how it works below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Revision in Writing <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve now covered the three main elements of a story<\/a>: narration, characters, and dialogue. You also now know to write a story by putting the characters in a situation and then observing how they work themselves out of the situation. This core work of storytelling will culminate in your first draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After your first draft comes revision, where you polish the story you\u2019ve created. After several rounds, you\u2019ll end up with the final draft. We\u2019ll cover the overall stages of writing and the revising process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write With the Door Closed, Rewrite With It Open<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you write your first draft, King suggests that you close your door.<\/strong> This is both literal and metaphorical. Literally, closing your door helps you focus and block out the outside world before you focus on revision in writing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metaphorically, write the first draft of your story<\/a> just for you. By and large, don\u2019t worry about what anyone else thinks. There is no outside world. The story belongs to you. (As we\u2019ll cover soon, there\u2019s one exception\u2014your ideal reader.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you rewrite, you need to open your door. You\u2019ll think about your readers and how to make at least some of them happy. You\u2019ll take in feedback from people you trust and grapple with reconciling their feedback with your vision in the revising writing process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dealing with Feedback<\/strong> in the Revising Writing Process <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each person\u2019s reaction to writing is naturally subjective, so you\u2019ll get feedback along a wide spectrum, and you\u2019ll get feedback you disagree with. Here\u2019s how to work through the feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dealing with Feedback Resistance<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Some writers struggle with incorporating feedback healthily. Changing your masterpiece simply because your readers didn\u2019t like it feels like a corruption of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you feel this way, why invite readers you respect to review your draft at all? If it\u2019s simply because you want adulation for what a genius you are, then at least be honest about what you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of reviewers as your own personal focus group to improve your writing.<\/strong> Movie studios do this with early cuts of their films. While it might seem arbitrary to shape an auteur\u2019s vision to the tastes of a crowd pulled off the street, focus groups seem to work in actually making films more successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we covered, King recommends putting at least six weeks between completing your first draft and starting your revision. The purpose is to get enough distance from your work that you no longer treat it as sacrosanct. Be willing to kill your darlings.<\/strong> This is a part of the revising writing process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Weigh Feedback<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll get feedback all along the spectrum, and you should weigh the feedback to see where it\u2019s pointing as the next step in the revising process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your reviewers are unanimous about one direction (whether something is great or terrible), they\u2019re probably right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Say there\u2019s a tie\u2014one person thinks Johnny is believable but Mary is ludicrous, and another thinks the opposite. Then the author wins. You shouldn\u2019t feel compelled to change anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You shouldn\u2019t weigh feedback from each person equally.<\/strong> It depends on how much you respect their opinion, and what area they\u2019re particularly insightful about. Some people specialize in dialogue, others in character development, yet others in pacing, factual accuracy, and so on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ideal Reader<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There is usually one person whose opinion you trust above all: the Ideal Reader. For King, it\u2019s his wife Tabitha, who helps with the revising process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ideal Reader is the person you have in mind as you write.<\/strong> You come to know your Ideal Reader\u2019s tastes so well you can predict how he or she will feel about any particular thing you\u2019re writing. Will she laugh at this scene? Will she get bored here if I explain too much? The Ideal Reader helps give you an audience as you write and is perhaps the only exception to writing with the door closed in the revision in writing process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ideal Reader should also be a honest reviewer\u2014eternally supportive but unrelenting. You might disagree with Ideal Reader\u2019s feedback, but you know there\u2019s truth to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially if you start getting attention for your work, the Ideal Reader should remain unimpressed and be the objective eye bringing you back down to earth. Hitchcock\u2019s wife <\/p>\n\n\n\n

King sneaks glances at Tabitha as she reads, hoping the scenes he\u2019s designed to score that great big laugh succeed. She\u2019s chided him for being needy this way. He admits that writers really are needy, but he loves when she loves his work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see from Stephen King’s memoir, revision in writing is a process that writer’s need to pay close attention to. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
