The chapter is finished and has just been emailed off to the editor.
Now the nervous part begins. Will it be good enough to pass peer review? Will it make it into the book?
It is the first time I’ve written anything of this sort of length to be published. I’ve written a thesis before which is much longer but that was just a thesis, right? It isn’t like it is something that just anyone could read or get out of a library or even quote from. It is a bit weird putting something out there that might be in a book for someone else to learn from. Weird and scary.
I’m so nervous! I probably will be a bit twitchy for a few days until life has settled back into its own rhythms again and I’m not thinking about what the editor is doing with it, approving, rejecting, tutting, sighing, puzzling..
When you feel a twitch coming on, have a bit of chocolate. It’ll help. Really.
Nicely done, btw.
Congratulations.
Just finishing it is a wonderful accomplishment.
I hope it is loved an accepted just as it!
You go girl! That’s awesome. Good luck!!!!!
Sending good publishing vibes your way!
Whew…nice to have it done, but hard to have your work scrutinized.
Congrats on finishing!!
Hmm – around here, we have to turn in a bound copy of our thesis for the university library. :O
Perhaps you should have given it to your real peers – us!!! – for review first!! We’d all be blown away I’m sure!
Congrats and good luck!!!
GOOD LUCK!!
Congrats on the submission! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Hooray! I am sure you have done an excellent job and will have at most minor corrections
(And yes, if anyone outside the lab I worked in has read my thesis, I would be surprised. Of course current theses also get submitted in digital form in Oz so’s they can go into a big database and be accessed by anyone. Eek!)
Congratulations! I’ve my fingers crossed for you, but I’m sure you don’t need it.
