Being an editor is certainly no piece of cake when dealing with writers who feel their words were written by God (him) herself. In such cases, editors like myself spend unnecessary time trying to appease the writer while ensuring that they understand what is wrong with their work.

Working with an editor means more work for a writer, not less. More re-writing and second-guessing. Editors are not there to pat on writers’ shoulders, but to say things that would otherwise show up in the first reviews 😉
