If You Please

My question, O Wise and Glorious Flist, is this: how do you approach a major rewrite?

I've done big rewrites on shorter pieces, but never on a full novel. I seek your input and suggestions. Tell me how you attack this kind of project.

Share you wisdom and experience.

Just let it sit, then read it as a reader (as opposed to a writer). The things that big you to read, or the things you don't quite get, alter.

Hardest (but most important) part is remaining objective.
