Three months (and a software version and an operating system release later), I *finally* got some feedback. The woman in charge of the department that will be publishing this epic wanted to know if she could have the updated, rewritten-after-editing-notes versions for ALL THREE volumes and instructor guides by February. I told her, "No, of course not. Between now and then I have to write and program a 1500-page CBT and other software training tools for the Version 11 software release and teach/test/certify 50+ freelance trainers on the new version on top of all of the other things I regularly do."
"Oh. Well how about by next August, before the convention?"
"That, I can do."
I start writing again next March.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
