I don;t know that I have a good system other than I can tend to know what part of the plot or character actions/dialogue us bothering my, and I just think about it until I find a way to really get the kink out. Perhaps I have less trouble finding the kink, it just takes me a while to message it out once I find it. Most times I find the kinks while writing and I can’t continue writing until I figure it out.

Perhaps I have less trouble finding the kink, it just takes me a while to message it out once I find it.

Although I hate when that happens, when you can't quite figure out what's wrong and how to fix it. Usually, I think time and distance helps. Getting someone else to read it can help out to. Hope you've worked through your kinks! Great analogy. Although I hate when that happens, when you can’t quite figure out what’s wrong and how to fix it. Usually, I think time and distance helps.

Getting an outside opinion/POV can be a big help! Excellent analogy :)

Simon, I'm eagerly anticipating the day when you work on a novel. I love your writing voice. Sara, I know just what you mean. I'll take my voice recorder with me on walks and I've gotten a couple of funny looks. Ah well. ;) Brittany, I'm wishing you all the best in finding that kink! Thanks guys!

That's exactly what I've been feeling since I finished my novel, that stiff spot I knew I needed to find. I've been cleaning and cooking and walking and driving, my WIP playlist on repeat and my mind constantly on the different aspects of the story. I can't wait to find that painful kink in my manuscript and massage it out. ^_^ Wow this is such a gorgeous and unique way of looking at the revising process.

And I definitely take those two hour walks as well. (But I've definitely caught myself talking out loud like a crazy person while I try to hash through the kinks!) Glad to hear your tangoing with your WIP again :-) Fantastic analogy – so accurate! And I definitely take those two hour walks as well.
