Love this! Especially the rewriting part. As an editor (and writer), I always tell people editing comes in stages. Working on the big developmental parts first is always important, and it will mean you need to rewrite. Then you can start doing more close edits in line edits, and once it's nearly complete you can move onto proofreading for typos and spelling/grammar issues.
