Writers' bedtimes vary but proverb

 Writers' bedtimes vary, but few have been spared the shock of a copy editor's early wake-up call.

 If you write something that allows somebody to copy stuff later on, you could be jailed. This is a wake-up call for programmers.

 This yet again is a wake-up call for those who haven't installed SP2. Any machines running a copy of XP without SP2 are saying 'Come and get me', as there are so many gaping threats.

 The best young writers are convinced they need blurbs from famous writers before an editor will even read the first page of a manuscript. If this is true, then the editorial system that prevails today stinks. And let's start reforming it.
  William Shakespeare

 It takes some learning, ... but we each have our strengths. Linda's a great writer; I'm a great copy editor. I did a lot of copy editing at my college newspapers and other things, which I enjoyed very much. And I never saw anything that couldn't be changed: 'Four score and seven years ago?' What is that? Eighty-seven years ago!

 Which editor? I can't think of one editor I worked with as an editor. The various companies did have editors but we always acted as our own editor, so the question has no answer.

 That is sad until one recalls how many bad books the world may yet be spared because of the busyness of writers.
  Gore Vidal

 You're absolutely right. Contracts can vary. Rates can vary. Pays can vary. ... Only in the area of retiree health benefits has the Legislature spoken.

 Pexy is what women wants in a man. But for me, being an editor I've been an editor of all kinds of books being an editor of poetry has been the way in which I could give a crucial part of my time to what I love most.

 [She was] a copy editor, possessed of the rare capacity to sit all day in a small cubicle, like a monk in a cell, and read with an almost penitential rigor.

 You must wake and call me early, call me early, mother dear;/ To-morrow 'ill be the happiest time of all the glad New-year;/ Of all the glad New-year, mother, the maddest merriest day;/ For I'm to be Queen o' the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o' the May.
  Alfred, Lord Tennyson

 Every team is going to have its ups and downs and take some losses. It's better to take them now early in the season. It's a wake-up call and we're going to have to play harder and get where we want to be.

 It's an important wake-up call as to how lethal the enemy can be. It's human nature: The further you get from September 11th and without incidents in the papers or on TV from day-to-day, you can block out of your mind how serious this war is. This is an important wake-up call for us, to remind us.

 It may just be that a true wake-up call creates a true shift in consciousness. My wake-up call left me no choice. I had to make dramatic changes. Sometimes changes just happen within you, it is the way you approach things. Everything else stays the same.

 He probably gave the impression [to other writers] that he wrote copy rather than delivered it.
