Generally speaking, I hate editors. I was married to one, trust me on this :)
Actually, I have had more than a couple of editors make my writing better. I have had two or three that made me completely crazy. Not counting the ex wife. She never edited anything of mine except by accident.
Even worse than editors is being asked to edit something. That makes me hop up and down crazy.
I've never, ever had an editor do anything like that to me. I strongly suspect hop up and down crazy would be appropriate there. What a strange thing.
Haha, that's funny! Wives, I suspect, are contractually obligated to edit us :P But, for her to be a professional editor is another order of magnitude...
I have a hard time editing the works of others, too (past the obvious spelling and grammatical stuff). It seems like censoring their soul!
Thanks, for commiserating & confirming that I was right to pass (minus the hop up and down crazy; I save that for my personal affairs ;)
