I am surrounded on all sides by editors. If I do not support the editors, they will eat me. *cough*. Okay, probably not, and they're very useful to have around! *g* Hell, I get nervous about even posting to LJ without the editors...

Actually, part of what astounds me is the ego of it. I want to have someone rip me apart before I put something out in front of the world, to stop me from making a fool of myself. The belief that not only could an editor not help, but could only, possibly, make your words less perfect is a little freaky.
