To the many of you that have been asking about my geometry book: firstly, thanks for all the interest.
I finally wrote to my prospective publisher (the MAA Problem Book series) demanding to know exactly what I should be expecting from the publication process. The reply I got back indicated that the next review I get will actually be a close reading, rather than just general comments like the first time (a relief), and that I can expect this to come by mid to late spring semester. After I respond to this close reading (which hopefully will not take long, considering how much polishing I've already done), there will be a formal voting, and then work with nitty-gritty details (copyediting, cover art, etc.).
Probably most important is the last paragraph:
So again, I have to ask you all (as well as myself) to please be patient. Ultimately the review process does make the book better and the publication does let me reach a much wider audience. And of course I'll make a huge amount of noise the moment the book is available for purchase!

A reasonable expectation for publication could well be December 2015. Publishing your work is definitely the right choice; my board would not have recommended that you continue to work on it otherwise. You will be able to receive a modest return on your work as well as credit for it, and it will be available for many, many students to use.
