Most writers talk about editor horror stories (obviously, they’re more fun), but once in a while it’s nice to acknowledge the truly great ones. Some days, it feels wonderful to be a freelancer because editors say things like this:

“We’re not having the kind of budget problems other people are, so we’re happy to pay for travel.”

“We work hard here to keep correspondents happy.”

“I was doing payroll this morning, and wanted to try to sneak a partial payment in for you.” (The piece was still in editing.)
