Hi there!

Wow! Your book chapter is amazing, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! Congrats on the work you have put into it so far! I do have a quick pointer that I hope is helpful before submission. You seem to have substantially gone over the word count. Remember that the word count includes your references, and not just the body of the chapter: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Motivation_and_emotion/Assessment/Chapter. To make your writing more concise, you might consider giving your writing a flat tone. For example, you could remove the word 'truly' in your first paragraph, and it would still read well.

I hope these points help, and you have a rewarding end of semester!

Hey, your book chapter looks incredible! Here's a couple references that may be useful for your unrealistic optimism section; Sharot, T. (2011). The optimism bias.
