Feedback

So I sent my agent the first 50% of my book to read and the other day I got notes back on the first 13 chapters he'd read. Five pages of just general notes of all the things that needed fixing. It was amazingly detailed feedback. Part of me felt a bit defensive because I knew a lot of it was wrong anyway and I'd probably have fixed it when I began editing but I quickly pushed that away. The big question though was do I go back and fix the beginning parts or just push on and go back en masse. However I've chosen to go back because the changes might lead me into new areas that will effect the latter stages. I'm so lucky though to get that feedback. In the past, I'd paid freelance editors quite a bit of cash for only a fraction of feedback. I'm so lucky to have this new resource to make my book the best it will be.
