The relationship should not become a personality duel. Fails to challenge the editor's ideas. Tries to tilt the relationship. Collaboration will not work when a writer becomes rude, overbearing, and tries to bully the editor. Writes too long.
Writers fail to produce stories that conform with established limits.
The writer gets too wedded to bad prose. The story is too illustrative or too descriptive, but the writer refuses to see or concede that is a problem. Becomes too married to a particular idea or theme in the story. The research is lacking, and the writer expects the editor to correct or solve that problem. Does not tell an editor how they feel about the editing, once changes are made in the story.
