Have your written your synopsis?
If not that is the place to start. Writing a synopsis (which will be used to get an agent/publisher interested) will often reveal areas that need attention.

Have you written your blurb (think of it as your 30 second/elevator advertisement) if not that is another place to start.

Have you started trying to find an agent/publisher? If you have and you don't have either of the above done and in your query letter- STOP- write them.

If you are gung-ho to re-write then work on the first three chapters because and agent/publisher typically wants to see them first. That is where to put your re-write/editing time and effort. There is no use editing page 673 if you don't get the agent's attention with page ONE- unless you are a glutton for punishment.
