It's Time For Writing Quotes Again
"Sometimes the rewriting is kind of like twitching -- it's a twitching that keeps you active while you're trying to figure out what to [write] next. You're rewriting the scene that you're rewriting, but that's causing your writing muscles to actually start writing the scene you're going to do next." – Mr. Brooks' Bruce A. Evans

"Sometimes the rewriting is kind of like twitching -- it's a twitching that keeps you active while you're trying to figure out what to [write] next."
When Bruce A. Evans refers to the "twitch muscles," those are the reflexive muscles that you rely on in sports. The "reactive" muscles if you will...
"You're rewriting the scene that you're rewriting, but that's causing your writing muscles to actually start writing the scene you're going to do next."
...and "rewriting" is helping you with your next scene, even though you don't know it.
