There's that one part where you say something about some people do xyz, but that will never be me, and I totally started singing a song from Say Anything in my head and thought you might be able to relate: "That'll never be me, that'll never be me, and don't you even think it!" Nice job! It's always good to be reminded of my motto: If the kids are alive at the end of the day, then I've done my job.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03981388823737554845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-65370141341302301212010-05-14T17:37:35.289-06:002010-05-14T17:37:35.289-06:00what a fascinating peek into editing.

Your cleverness evidently inspired her to add some of her own. I had an editor do that to me once, and I told her, "That's cute and clever, and I kind of wish I had said it, but I didn't, so please take it out." Of course, it wasn't a paying gig like Parents. But I'm just saying--it's that kind of editor that gives editors a bad name.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830698376856846098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-50984620658743169762010-05-13T16:16:48.991-06:002010-05-13T16:16:48.991-06:00Weenis.
