So, an agent responded to my full manuscript with a revise & resubmit, which is a first for me. I found this post on YA Highway saying that it's a good idea for an author to talk about the changes they've made (or haven't made) when they resubmit the manuscript, rather than just being like "here you go!" and attaching it.
I feel like this would be especially good in my case, since the agent preferred not to be specific about the changes she wanted to see made and said that she'd rather have me make my own judgment calls about it. But the thing is, I feel like I could ramble on forever if I'm explaining my thought process for my revisions. My question is, how long is *too* long of an explanation? And how much would an agent take it into consideration?
