I wrote a book, had it accepted by a publisher, but it was two years before they actually published it. It went through 5 major revisions in that time, and was a way better book than what I originally submitted.
the magic is in the editing - I also wrote one , a first and hired an experienced Editor - she asked me whether I wanted her to review and suggest changes or take it apart. I opted for the latter which meant re-writes and deletions of entire sections - it was daunting but well worth it.

Oh cool! Tell me more. What did you learn? Has the book sold any copies?
