Spent a few days looking round online to see what authors say about revising a first draft. I’ve made a few notes and have started to outline the scenes as written.

Outline the book
Play the what-if game

Does an idea or scene really belong where you’ve put it, or would the piece be better if that element was cut? Could it be used elsewhere, or on another occasion?
Do events occur in the best order and are significant events given enough weight, or are they lost beneath less important things? If so, is that what you intended?
Does the middle sag anywhere?
Does the story unfold naturally with consistency and tension?
Does this scene matter?
setting-SIGHT, SOUND SMELL, TOUCH

Is it what you meant to say, really?
Have you found the best way to convey it?
Would a particular event really have happened that way?
Details and background information. Don’t info dump. Pace information through dialogue and narration.
Would a particular character definitely use that expression or turn of phrase?
Does this character appear all the way through the book,
Does this character still look and act the way he did at the beginning of the book?
Are my characters properly developed? Do they grow consistently throughout the book?
Are my characters likable, with strong goals and sufficient motivation?
Make sure all characters who come in contact with one another have some kind of relationship, whether good or bad.
Characters must have motivation for everything.
All characters react and act.
Each character has his or her own life.
How do characters react to setting

Does it read too slow, or too fast?
Overall, does the writing convey the right tone – does it create the mood you hoped for?f
If this scene introduces a new idea or new action, is it something that I remembered to follow through all the way to the end?
Have you followed your header, chapter, and quote scheme consistently?

climax- longest scene, twists, surprese, emotionally powerful
read it loud again
