I have friends who are capable of writing a very rough draft and then going back and embroidering - they're sort of the cathedral builders of fiction. I never really know what I'm doing, and all my pleasure's on the level of the line.

我有一些朋友,他们能够写一个非常粗略的草稿,然后回去刺绣——他们有点像小说的大教堂建造者。我从来都不知道自己在做什么,我所有的快乐都在这条线上。
