about editing

My mom told me this advertising adage: "the strongest human urge is the compulsion to change another's copy."

Thank goodness there is a function called "editor" for those of us who can't resist that urge! I'm editing so many things these days - resumes and cover letters, political letters, my own writing.

It's so satisfying to see a well-crafted piece of writing. I find myself smiling - the sign that I am in the flow.
