Just don't give up if you don't hit your date! I edited technical books for four years and never once had an author actually hit their target date.

But do set a new target date if you miss your original one. Having a big red circle on the calendar can be an amazing motivator, even if there's no consequences for missing it.

Good luck!

Thanks for the tip! I don't know if I would have thought to set another date after missing the first. Hopefully I won't have to, but if the time comes I'll keep that in mind.
