Now, on the St. Louis team we have Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third.
The challenge for me has first been to see things as they are, whether a portrait, a city street, or a bouncing ball. In a word, I have tried to be objective.
I'm a writer first and an editor second... or maybe third or even fourth. Successful editing requires a very specific set of skills, and I don't claim to have all of them at my command.
Our culture runs on coffee and gasoline, the first often tasting like the second.
