Editing

Writing exhausts me because there are infinite combinations of words, and none are necessarily better than the others.

Editing gives me pleasure. There is always a solution, and that solution is death. Oh the killing of words! Editing is the written word equivalent of reducing fractions. Reducing fractions gives me a sense of power because I take a big, hulking, macho number and through my very will, through my very being, and sometimes through my very calculator, I knock it down to size.

Take that, motherfucker!
