Finally!

The marathon wait is over. Just shy of 12 months, the manuscript that I had under review since last September has received a decision. And the decision is a great one, by my standards. One reviewer torched the paper and said that it should be rejected. The other reviewer really liked the paper and recommended that it be revised and resubmitted. The editor told me that she agreed more with the second reviewer and that if I revised the paper, she would only send it to that reviewer. Not only that, I don't really think the edits will be that substantial. The reviewer pointed out several things that I had not noticed, and I think the end result will be a much better paper. While this paper was under review, I collected more data, so the sample size will be larger as well. It's nice when it all comes together. Finally.
