Redrafting a novel reflects a radical rethink of the narrative. It’s perfectly normal for a writer to have an early concept of their story and their characters. If everything is open to change, they wouldn’t be able to write a first draft.

As a writing mentor and manuscript assessor, I can often tell who has been to creative writing class. Apart from other telltale signs, these writers leave out emotion. They think they have to show it, not tell it. This is a tricky area.

I’ve finished my latest novel! Feeling pretty pleased with myself, I began my rewrites. Horror of horrors! A boring first paragraph stared me in the face. I have to hand over the manuscript to my publisher in two weeks. How do I hook my reader with that first line?
