Little Match Girl II: She's back from the dead and out for revenge.
That is wonderful. There are no words for how much I loathe the original story.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

Feeling sort of bummed by my blogging assignment these days. Every month there's more rules and the editor seems less satisfied by what I do. Yes, the prop 8 post was inspired, but this is a side job, and I'm a writer, not a content module. I can't just push a button on the side of my head and get something brilliant. If I could, I'd want more money.What should I do? Admittedly, even I would have called my last posts "fine," rather than "great," but when I get perfectionist, he bitches that I'm not writing enough.

Can you tell him to keep the quality up you need more freedom to decide what to write? If he says you need "do what I tell you, or get out" then you will have a decision to make. Is there a risk even to asking him to back off? Again you have a decision to make as to whether to bring it up.
Bottom line though, if the work conditions for an unpaid gig are preventing you from doing work you are satisfied with maybe you should look for better ways to spend the time. Heck, do a regular diary on the Daily Kos, and you will probably reach a larger audience than a speciality blog. (The downside of that would be fairly nasty anti-feminist and anti-disabled posters in the comments section of the "why can't ya take a joke" variety.)

I think he's never really been anyone's editor before. But that doesn't make his carping less annoying. And of course, it's his brainchild. He is going to feel differently than I would. Flattering suggestion, but I doubt I have the policy chops for Kos--they'd probably have me for lunch, and I don't mean porn.
