%X Existing cognitive models of narrative creation provide accounts for story invention that, while
useful, are too high level to be directly applied to formal systems like computational models of narrative
generation. Inversely, existing automatic story generation systems that try to implement cognitive models
can only rely on approximations to the general concepts these models describe. In order to provide insight
to  ll the gap between these two approaches, we have conducted a study in which human participants would
invent and write short stories while re ecting on their thoughts out loud. The sessions and the analysis of
the recordings was designed so that we could observe which speci c modi cations the participants apply
to their story drafts, with the intention to inform the process of creating computational systems based on
cognitive descriptions of the narrative creation process. After running the experiments, annotating the videos
and analysing the output, we have concluded that there are a number of common modi cations that humans
tend to apply to a newly created draft, and that this information can be used to the development of storytelling
systems.
