If it makes your life better to gleefully point out a typo you’re not paid to point out, please don’t object when I don’t join in.

I think many who prefer to work that way have never had more inclusive, loving, liberating, conscious editing and writing modeled for them.

One rule I’ve heard for about 25 years represents an editing philosophy so heavy-handed, I can’t imagine following it for an entire career.

Don Draper said it in the “Mad Men” world of advertising: “Stop writing for other writers.” I heard it long before the show ever aired.

Let’s not freeze language in time. Let’s not try to encase it in amber.

I get that many of my opinions about editing aren’t the norm. I’m okay with that. Most days, I’d put my edits up against anyone’s.
