What Do You Do? I'm An Editor.

(From The Avid Yahoo User's Group -- By Dennis Shelby)

A girl once asked me at a party "What do you do?"

"I'm an editor," I replied

"Yes, but what do you DO!" she asked.

I thought a bit, then explained that I try not to get in the way.

Thinking about it, I realized that it didn't mean I have no contribution, nor that my contribution is not as great or greater than most others on a show, but that I almost feel complimented when I'm not noticed.

The stars shine from the spaces in between, and we make up those spaces.

It takes a lot of passion, and a lot of commitment to take satisfaction from not being seen -- and a lot of courage as well.
