I submitted the last chapter today at 5:04 AM. The reason why it was a last-minute thing was that Anna had a lot of unforeseen circumstances that slowed down her work. Still, we managed to do it on time, and that’s important for me! Even when the publisher assumes that everybody will be late, it is still important. There will still be some work with our technical reviewer, and we still need to write the Acknowledgments section, but we are done with the submission.
So, how do I feel about it? It should have been easier than the first edition, and in some sense, it was, but it was more difficult in many ways. We had a new editor, and the whole work was way more formal than the first time. Granted, we were already educated and knew how we should proceed, but I still think that with our previous editor we would feel differently.
And If and when we will be doing the third edition, I am not going to do it in summer 🙂
The first edition is still sells surprisingly well, judging by the royalties, but I still do not know how to figure out how many copies were sold. I asked about it while our first editor was still there, and he said “he will find out,” but it never happened.
