There are certainly times when my own everyday life seems to retreat so the life of the story can take me over. That is why a writer often needs space and time, so that he or she can abandon ordinary life and "live" with the characters.

  • -- Margaret Mahy 玛格丽特·梅喜

当然,也有一些时候,我自己的日常生活似乎在退缩,所以故事的生活可以接管我。这就是为什么作家经常需要空间和时间,这样他或她就可以放弃平凡的生活,与角色“生活”在一起。
