Bloody Editors
Don’t you hate it when your work is edited to such an extent that it’s no longer yours? I wouldn’t have any problem with editing if the writing is poor or the content of the piece is inaccurate. But I do have a problem with editing in order to be on everybody’s good side. Too “sensitive”..ugh. There’s no point in writing something if it isn’t going to make an impact! And it was an objective factual piece on an economic issue, not some mindless slander that we see in so many writings. Small wonder our country can’t move forward, self-criticism is just thrown out the window.
As far as I’m concerned thats no longer my work, and I regret putting in the effort in researching it and coming up with those new ideas.
Edit: I finally got my hands on the publication a few months after it was printed and was very pleasantly surprised to note that my piece appeared in full! The editors obviously changed their minds and grew some balls
