I've enjoyed reading your work and I want to be sure that you understand that I don't know any more than you do. 

The writer/editor relationship is a partnership with the editor dealing with mechanical stuff that the writer need not worry about. 

I'm concerned that you missed my salt block/grain of salt analogy. I write my own stories and sometimes forget which end of the old-style pencil I'm using, the lead or the eraser.

As I tell all writers, keep writing.
