The first meeting with my editor eons ago still rings loud and clear today. “Embrace deadlines.” She informed me she has zero tolerance for extending deadlines.
Why?
First editions may — if there’s interest and time — ripen into second additions. Second editions (similar to software upgrades) polish the first and improve the second (current) edition.
Next?
For those writing academic or legislative entreaties — sure — minding the small stuff carries weight. The rest?
