*In a more concrete way, I typically write about five pages per day (on a novel). I'm a fast writer. Once I finish a chapter I print it out. The next day or later in the day depending on what my writing schedule is like, I'll go to the manuscript with a colored felt pen. Something vibrant like red or blue, maybe green. I'll mark it up. Often I'll read it out loud. Then I make the changes in the computer, tinker with it a bit, print it out and save and move on. I do that all the way through until I'm done. Then if I have time, I let it sit for a few weeks or months. Usually I'm too anxious and want to work on it, but it's good to let a manuscript "age" a bit so you can see it with fresher eyes.*
