I ...Good group of readers you got there, Mary! :) <br /><br />I know what you mean with regards to the multiple layers of feedback causing headaches. Sometimes it gets difficult to pinpoint exactly what is wrong and what simply isn't someone's personal taste. The key, as you pointed out is to keep circulating until you see patterns in the feedback.<br /><br />Good to see you around, BTW!<br /><br />EJAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273059558675234923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846834032309178013.post-37176831114696575202012-02-06T19:40:50.222-05:002012-02-06T19:40:50.222-05:00You're welcome and I'll return the thanks ...You're welcome and I'll return the thanks for your comments on mine.Fiona Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15631705927824936272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846834032309178013.post-62322839957834881762012-02-06T18:18:53.201-05:002012-02-06T18:18:53.201-05:00The more eyes the better!The more eyes the better!PK HREZOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650153097981426833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846834032309178013.post-12613155599408353962012-02-06T13:34:21.457-05:002012-02-06T13:34:21.457-05:00You're welcome!You're welcome!Nicole Zoltackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464800543376449290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846834032309178013.post-24573617273996399642012-02-06T09:29:57.942-05:002012-02-06T09:29:57.942-05:00I know what you mean. I had feedback from an agent...I know what you mean. I had feedback from an agent after winning a full ms crit. She felt I didn't start the novel in the right place. She felt the first chapter should start earlier in the story (there's a first). But another agent felt the story started on chapter 4, and made a revision request based on that. But she only read the first 50 pages (she didn't want to ruin the ending if I resubmitted), and all my beta readers agreed with the first agent's comments (eventually). If I cut the first three chapters, a lot of important things (plot, characterization, mystery, foreshadowing) get cut. Talk about conflicting advice. :(Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846834032309178013.post-9112406575538990722012-02-06T07:31:20.704-05:002012-02-06T07:31:20.704-05:00Yay for awesome CP's!
