Editor Work

[mmerriam]

Sent acceptances and rejections for the MinnSpec group anthology. Made the day of 20 writers. Crushed the hopes and dreams of all the others.

So you're saying that an editor's agenda for the day is "crush hopes and dreams; eat guacamole"?

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

"eat guacamole" might be the most important part of the day.

But that's the fun part. :-) Then you get to rub your hands together and cackle in an evil way, as all writers know that editors do.

Yes, but this way we get to rub our hands together and cackle *with* him. :-D

Thanks, Michael. I look forward to reading every story in the new anthology. :-)

My hopes and dreams were *not* crushed. You'll have to try harder!

Good! I hope to see more of your work.

I so envy those of you who can still post an entry. Many of us do not now have that facility since livejournal.com messed up the system and we are left in the lurch!

You get to be a ghoul and cannibal AND make people's day!
