Polish phase
Polish phase
- When writing, or pursuing some other creative process, the polish phase (as part of the barf and polish writing process) is the period when the focus is on refining the story (or other "artifact") by engaging ones critical and/or editorial faculties. It is preceded by the barf phase. --(Source: Fritz Freiheit)
Tasks
- At least one pass through the manuscript generated in the barf phase. Whether this is an edit up or an edit down will depend on your style of writer. For me, it is an edit up process.
- Identify potential problems for review during the beta phase
- Write more notes
- Mark notes either incorporated into the story, or mark as discarded / unincorporated.
- Refine the plot, setting, and characters (see The Three Pillars of Storytelling)
- Fine tune the worldbuilding
- Hone the theme(s)
