One more lesson...

When your editor says: "I don't understand your genre" and then later yells at you for not researching enough about a fantasy world that doesn't even exist?

Demand a different editor. Save yourself the headache.

@BabyToaster it's so hard as a creative to be surrounded by those who are not. Those who are not try and control a narrative they are comfortable with.

A creative can see the road they drive in , in the dark. Others want to put up rails on the road that they themselves cannot see.

@BabyToaster to continue on this metaphor.
The rails they are placing in the dark tend to miss the real path, and may inadvertently drive you off a cliff.

@PoliTees So true. Which is why I ignored this editor and denied all her edits before sending it back with a note of "Yeah, I'm leaving this as is. Thanks!"

Then I stopped writing for that house.

@BabyToaster btw, I'm not a writer. I am an artist from a former life, but industry destroyed me.

@BabyToaster TY
It's okay now. I'm happier than ever. Just not creating for anyone else.
