Blank

You might not write well every day, but you can always edit a bad page. You can't edit a blank page.

~ Jodi Picoult

I am an editor for a journal. One of the things I do is ask people for biographical information to go with their articles. I usually email them and say, "Can you send me a 2-3 sentence bio?"

Except for the time I wrote, "Can you send me a 203 sentence bio?"

(pause)

I don't know who thought it was a good idea to make me an editor.
