Chris The Story Reading Ape's Blog 
Have always used different coloured highlighters and pens – though I tend to stick to red pen for writing in alterations. But I must also sing the praises of different coloured ‘post it’ notes. I allocate a colour to each major character, sticking them at the edge of the page so they stick out. Once you’ve marked each character’s activity (or a sub plot etc) you can then go through the MS looking at just that character checking they don’t contradict themselves and they are where they are supposed to be.- my MS ends up looking like a multi-coloured porcupine. And that’s just the 1st draft. I’ll repeat it until it is right.
