Writers pour their souls into their work. What does life look like from the other side of the desk? Here's a peek inside the editor's office.Headlines and Deadlines
An Editor's Day on Poetic Display
My sky-blue pencil's poised to strike,

Conforming copy to my will.

Tearing out a writer's heart,
Counting out each column inch
And adding fillers in a pinch.

Talk about hitting the nail on the head. Sounds like what I'm doing, to much editing and not enough submitting.
