Uh...New Moon.

OH MY GOD, KILL ME NOW. Seriously, people, I don't know if I can take another two books worth of this stuff. Well, more like 2 4/5, because 122 pages into 'New Moon', I'm ready to spork my eyes out.

anne rice's argument against using an editor is that one wouldn't impose that kind of input on an artist. ha! i liken editorial/beta input to the paint and other materials that are used in the painting process. i *use* paint but i sure as hell don't *make* the paint or gesso or the canvas. an editor is a highly talented and creative tool and the right editor complements, enhances, and brings out the talent of the author. i've got recipes for making gesso...but i'd rather buy a can of the good stuff and get to painting.

golly...so many analogies are possible. architects and the people who build the buildings and the engineers who make them safe and feasible. etc etc!
