Publishing is hard

by v_Enhance, Nov 13, 2014, 1:57 PM

I just sent an updated draft of my geometry book to the MAA board for review again. The update probably contained on the order of 1000 edits and corrections as well as some large formatting changes, a new section on mixtilinear incircles, plus another 70 pages of selected solutions (very not fun to write), bringing the most recent draft to 404 pages long.

Unfortunately the board is not going to begin reviewing it until the start of the new year. :dry:

I can't wait til this whole process is over. The whole revision process has admittedly made the draft a lot better, but this project just keeps dragging and dragging and I don't know what to do about it...

The problem is that the intended audience at first (us) will have graduated when the book's published...

So there is a chance that this will go over like a lead balloon? Ouch

wait hmm isn't there always an intended audience
like there was relevant audience 5 years ago and there will be a relevant audience 5 years ago
and I'm pretty sure that a lot of the high schoolers at the time geo revisited was written are dead now
