edit, resubmit w/o rejection

[ReneMcBee]

Hello All,

I haven't been on C.C. in ages because it frays my nerves to think about being rejected, suspended and thrown out, but I'm back to give it another go.

I'd like to take an article that hasn't sold and edit it...add things, delete things, and re-write it, but leave the 'bones' in. Can someone tell me the process to do this without getting hit with a plagiarism rejection?

If you have the original or if you have the full document accessible via the edit feature where you copy and paste it into word to work on, you might want to start over to make your changes and resubmit it as a new article and then go and delete the existing one. I have done it this way.
