The humble writer blanched. "I can do better."
"You're giving us a bad name. This magazine is quality, dammit. We aren't...bloggers."
"Forgive me. I'll edit. I promise."
The editor nodded. "Then get to it."

Great story, @thinknzombie.
Editing can be a darn bad habit. I've become quite anal retentive after so much editing to get the right number of words (thank you, @jayna). :)
I think i've been editing my dreams.
I just edited this comment, darn it!
