The Woes of Revision

I'm slowly revising my feature film, and as a writer, I have the annoying habit of writing scenes that are so tightly woven with one action motivating the next action and one line of dialogue linked to the next line of dialogue, that if I have to change one line, that means I've messed up a whole page and I have to change the whole page, sometimes, a whole five pages. I think it's cool that my writing is like that, but it makes revision extremely difficult. Maybe that's why screenwriters like James Cameron write a 40 page outline before they even start writing script pages. Blech.
