You stole my story and something's got to be done about it.
Editors can be stupid at times. They just ignore that author__ intention. I always try to read unabridged editions, so much is lost with cut versions of classic literature, even movies don__ make sense when they are edited too much. I love the longueurs of a book even if they seem pointless because you can get a peek into the author__ mind, a glimpse of their creative soul. I mean, how would people like it if editors came along and said to an artist, __hoops, you left just a tad too much space around that lily pad there, lets crop that a bit, shall we?_. Monet would be ripping his hair out.
