Actual editing was always hard for me. Cutting was too much like abortion. I always felt like I was killing some author's babies. Then, I'd try to save those babies and end up with partial birth monstrosities. The author would be upset and the readers would be upset.

Temptation came out before Hell. Which is the way it usually works, or so I've been led to believe by various members of the clergy.
