SUN: re-read the short story I am going to rewrite and think about what is missing
Mon: Outline story and create questions that need to be answered to see what is missing.
Tue: Have all questions answered
Wed: Re-write outline with answered questions and make sure characters are real
Thurs: Write draft (hopefully 1000-1500 words).
Fri: Edit draft.
Sat: Post new version of short story.
Above all prepare for this plan to change at some point if needed!
I have been re-writing my short stories for two weeks using this pattern and am pleased so far with the results. This may be the beginning to understand how I will be successful with taking first draft stories to the next level.
