I'm pleased with my rewriting of The Key. It is getting better and I've already added about 2000 more words. :) Why a rewrite for an editing process? It was suggested by my Son, author Hydrawolf (obviously not his real name lol) and this process does seem to be working. Basically, get the first draft done. Then, have it open in one small window and start a new version in another. Rewrite the whole thing, while reading the original. So, I read some and then go to the new doc and rewrite that. This helps clarify things, edit it, and add stuff or remove stuff where needed.
