I'm writing out the third draft. My method so far has been basically taking a copy of the previous draft and from that altering, inserting, deleting, rewriting, parts in favor of the revisions.
There's other ways of doing it. You could start with a blank page and then, with the revisions in mind, conclude that anything you don't include from the previous draft was not all that good or not integral to the story. Or you could put one draft at one side of your screen and the latest draft your working on at the other side and work like that.
Anybody with some material that they're serious about is likely to do rewrites - what works for you and what other methods are out there?
