One of the agents I submitted to asked for revisions. He made specific recommendations which I am totally on board with. (I had originally considered what he wants while I was writing, but for various reasons didn't do it.) He asked to see the first 50 pages again when I was done.
Is it okay to send in the 50 pages along with an email detailing how I'll be tweaking the rest of the manuscript before I've actually done it? I'm really excited how I was able to weave what he wants into those first 50 pages! I think it turned out really well (this coming from the Eeyore of writing).
From query, to partial, to full, to request for revisions was about two weeks. The request for revisions came last Thurs.. I was thinking that I could send in the 50 pages and be close to completing the remaining revisions by the time he gets back to me. By sending those pages sooner rather than later, I'm hoping to keep my story on his mind.
Good idea? Bad Idea? <shrug> I have no idea; and given the choice in these situations I usually go wrong.
PLease help. <g>
PS, I really, really want this agent. He's one of the best.
