[stylist] What comes first?...the story or the call for submission

[Judith Bron]

Amy, Each of us is an individual.  Consequently we all do it differently. 
It's like the question, "Do you eat the potatoes before the meat?  Do you 
eat the meat first?  Do you eat them simultaneously?  Is there a right way 
to do this?  That's the answer I have about how I write.  In short, there is 
no right answer.  Judith
