[Story]
The complex editorial process often precludes the glamor of writing. As an editor, one must be prone to detail and assume an acute sense of emphasis. This edition, however, seemed to loaf around, lacking the necessary urgency. The challenge was to instill a sense of urgency without assuming a tone that would preclude the readers engagement. It was a delicate balance, but one that had to be struck to ensure the success of the publication.
