Pick a piece of writing, an older one that you never really liked perhaps, read it over and over. Ask yourself, could this be better? If the answer is no then repeat this process until the answer is yes. Once you have chosen a piece to work on make a list of a few of the main ideas, events and characters, this will help with the reconstruction. Now start rewriting your story on a whole new sheet. Feel free to look at the old story and the list for some important details. Always keep in mind when rewriting that your end product should be similar to the first copy, not a whole new thing. This is actually a pretty great exercise if you suffer from writers block or you want a break from your latest piece.
