*T*hey are better than you at writing - it's their job to be; that's why they're an editor.

Ben. I have been an editor and this is not true. Editors are editors. They're not always better than writers. They're not always right. And the details matter in every artistic endeavor.

Good editors ARE better.

Got no quarl with you, Ben. But that is wrong, and I speak as an editor. Every situation is different, But editors should work with writers to make things collaborative, not just dictate what goes up. Writers don't learn by forced edits, and Editors are not perfect or omnipotent.

Writers are unable to look at their work objectively.

lol. My old editor would take the soul out of my writing. (He paid on time so I let it slide.) ....he might have been a devil, and at least some others believe that now!
