Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! Well, once again a month has flown by hasn't it? Spring is starting to think about getting serious here: flowers starting to bloom, leaves starting to leaf, allergies in full swing. Not sure when the temperatures will decide to join the spring party—it actually snowed here a few days ago—but I'm sure that will happen. Of course, this time of year means NHL playoffs in my family.
