Editing Off the Hook

You may have read it first here, but Maria Schneider, former editor of Writer's Digest magazine, has her blog up and racing off with a series of posts logging her experience building her WordPress blog/website. Take a look at the Editor Unleashed for Maria's overview. I found interesting this tidbit about choosing the site's name:

I wanted to build a community site for writers with all kinds of resources. editorunleashed.com wasn’t the first or second or even tenth name I came up with for this site. In fact, it took me weeks to secure a URL that communicated what I wanted to do with my site ...

What image does Editor Unleashed conjure for you? I see a rabid, frothing pit bull dog racing around nipping at split infinitives and taking a bite out of passive sentences. Not for nothing did they call Maria the "pit boss" of the WD Forum, which she managed. She even had a whip, some said.

And people are intimidated to show me their writing!
