Sorry for not replying sooner! Your comment somehow got moved from my inbox-folder, and cleaning up today, I found it. *blushes*
I had to rewrite the later ones as I found they were no longer what I wanted after I'd gone back and done the earlier ones.
I don't mind changing a scenes once I get there again and find that they don't work any longer. But most of the times, those early written scenes hold a core that will get used in the story sooner or later. So sometimes I move a scene from one place to another or even split it up into separate ideas or re-write it from a different perspective, but I will mostly keep the core.
Oh yes, the process of talking can do wonders to knowing what it's all about! All we need is someone to listen and nod every now and then. *clutches teddy bear*
I edit on screen - I'm far to lazy to retype. What I do is that I make a copy of the old document with a new version number. Then I open the new document and the document with comments from my beta and switch between those two all the time. I don't like the "accept changes" option in Word, because I want to make a conscious decision what I take, and I want to understand what I take, too.
