Notes Everywhere

I bet some writers have an organized system for revisions.

I do and I don't. I have a major list chapter by chapter, but I also have scraps of paper with a thought here, another there. This draft will emerge after hours of rereading notes, weighing their impact and, of course, rewriting. It's only after I rewrite a good portion that I finally know which revision ideas to include and which to throw away. Nothing too neat about my revising process, but in the end, I hope . . . I hope . .. to see a much improved story.
