I just finished the first draft of my novel, and Im going to put it away for at least a month. The book has a lot of spelling / grammatical errors, as in true [Nanowrimo](http://www.nanowrimo.org/) style, I kept typing without fixing anything. When I return, what should I focus on: Fixing the spelling and grammar first? Or, should I read through the whole book, and look for plot/characterisation holes? I know there is [this](https://writers.stackexchange.com/q/1714/2024) question, but it focusses more on editing other peoples work, not your own.
