That should take care of him.

I'm boxing up my inner editor and sending him to India. Goodbye.

He wouldn't go quietly, so in adherence to my new horror novel and all things gruesome, I've chained his leg to a pipe in my basement and given him a saw if he wants to get out.
Which he won't want to, because he knows how much a better editor my friend is and he'd rather stay in the basement until I deign to let him go.
He should be nice and hungry for grammar and spelling mistakes by the time November is over.

My IE ignores grammar and spelling. He goes for the big stuff, like "You've got to have sex in this book" and "You wrote that? My grandmother can write better than that!"
*sporks her IE for good measure*

That's what mine's like! She looks a little like Emily Blunt from the Devil Wears Prada and when I come up with an idea she squints her eyes at me over those razor-sharp glasses and goes, "Really? Really?" No more words are needed. It's enough to shame me into a corner and never write again. D:
But no longer! *shoves Inner Editor into a corner, turns her around, gives her a dunce cap, and tells her she can come out when it's December and she's had time to think about all the trouble she would've caused Mommy in November*

No, see, I have my characters who take care of that stuff. "You're making me do WHAT!? With WHO!? With WHAT!?"
Yeah, that's gonna be fun.

My inner editor has been locked in a room with Jack Bauer from 24. Enough said.

Mine is a timid, stuttering man with crooked glasses who cannot. stop. talking. Therefore, he is having a long, long timeout in the corner. :D

Mine is silently sobbing in a box that I nailed shut until further notice. She as a tendency to read over my shoulder and make snide remarks about my writing style and choices. She will NOT make me second-guess myself this month!
Write on, Everyone!

My Inner Editor
is the snarkiest, meanest, demoralizing, shoulder-padded, big-haired Mommie Dearest drag queen you can imagine.
The bad news is that she knows THINGS about my past.
I'm going to have to beat her. Quite severely about the head and shoulders. (puts on iron fist in velvet glove) Here I come, Mommie!

My Inner Editor and I are trying to cut a deal since I'm not very good at being mean and she's been running the show for so long. She's pouting in the corner and biting her tongue while I try not to show how invigorating it is to type pages and pages of drivel without her pointing out that the continuity sucks and no clear plot has developed yet!
