Editing: Better than sex?

This Salon article by Gary Kamiya will provide answers to those of you who've said to me, "O.K., you're an editor -- but what is it that you do?"

It not only demystifies the process, but also makes a fine argument in favor of editing in the age of blogs. Enjoy.

I dig the blog. I'm a writer (so we'd likely have a combative relationship), and I've just given up trying to explain the WHAT of the work. I just assumed we have beer -- and other writers/editors to drink said beer -- because that question has no answer.
