From The Onion: Someday, I Will Copyedit the Great American Novel (thanks to Steve for the link)
To a writer who didn't strive for perfection, my corrections would seem niggling. But the author of the Great American Novel will understand that I am as essential to his book as the ink that will cover sheaf after sheaf of virgin paper.
This is me, only I want to edit the Great American Trashy Romance Novel.
Current song in my head:
"California Dreamin'" by the Mamas and the Papas
