Some say you should allow a cooling off process where you do something completely different, such as plan another novel or revise one that you've previously written. Others say it's a good idea to go back through right away and fix the things you already know need fixing, such as adding in mention of that character in chapters two and five so her arrival in chapter twelve doesn't come out of the blue. Purchase a spiral bound notebook (the 5.5x9 inch size is good) for making notes whether or not you have a print-out. Think about the scene.
