Don't let anyone else define who you are as a writer. Or as a person, for that matter, but especially as a writer.
Editors can talk to you about the realities of their lists, the markets and sales meetings. But they're not writers. They are not the ones who translate strange worlds and foreign concepts into words. They're not who you are. Listen to them -- but in the end, you are the translator, the one who understands. You must do your part before the editors can do their parts.
