A quick post today, because I really need to be writing chapters. Lots of them!
Monday I turned in what I thought was the last four chapters in the Complete Idiots Guide to Business Law to hit my August 4th, half the book turned in deadline. Tuesday I got an email from my wonderful editor that they needed two more elements.
I panicked. Not so much that I'd have to write more. I have to write two more chapters this week anyway. But because I'd counted the elements carefully, and was sure I had done it right. If they said they needed more, it meant I was missing something. Yikes!
I really don't have time to miss anything right now. So the emails flew back and forth for half an hour until I figured out where my counting differed from theirs.
Now we're back on track. I wrote the front matter yesterday morning and now have over half turned in. Wooh. And got to check another element off :-)
It's been fun, but it's always a learning curve when I start working with another publisher. They all have their unique ways of doing things!

Isn't this so true of all employers? You change jobs you have to learn a new way of doing things. And that is hard. Glad you were able to figure it out.
