Dear All Horrible Writers
As an editor, this is what I always want to say to all the horrible scripts I received:Your manuscript is both good and original, but the part that is good is not original and the part that is original is not good.
Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)

Advice to writers: Sometimes you just have to stop writing. Even before you begin.
Stanislaw J. Lec (1909 - 1966), "Unkempt Thoughts"
But, as a writer, honestly, that's not the thing I want to hear from my editor. (^_^)
