man i have found that one good idea later on in the story changes every thing you have written previously. and constitutes another re-write {witch sucks}
so my question is how do you incorporate a good idea or plot twist into your story with out having to re-write 30,000 words to make it flow...
i guess i will know once i feel i don't have to change a thing, but every time i finish a rough draft and try my hand at polishing it, i find that i re-write almost the whole story and must again start the whole polishing idea over again...
right now i am starting a new book that is the first book of three. my first book i had written is now the middle of the second book and the ending of the third book. the story decided that i need to expand on the idea to get the whole concept out in proper understanding of the story i was trying to tell...
i guess what i am rambling about is how do you structure your story so this does not happen? and what steps can be taken to help make changes fit better in the writing process...
thx for your time, i hope it makes sense what i am trying to ask.

I have no idea. I frequently have to rewrite, but rarely do I need to toss it all. Usually, I just have to tweak a few things, change the order of a few more and add something. However, better a complete rewrite than something half-done - in my opinion.
