Wait-- what?!!!!! 🤬

Oh, I'm mad as hell Barbara --

I thought editing had to do with writing --how does the editor get to jump in the space between the story and the reader and decide how exactly it will be received?!!

ANDDD if they are upset -- well, isn't that exactly why writing is powerful?!!

It can make one reader happy, another ambivalent, and another angry. That is out of our control and exactly why I wrote the story that I did the other day.

Ugh - I can't believe you experienced this.

I still need to finish your article -- oh, but I'm mad.
