I write about five thousand words a day, when working on a book, about three thousand a day if I'm writing a short story. I take long periods off between projects, when I read a lot, garden, and think about the next book or stories.

  • -- Eric Brown 埃里克·布朗

当我写一本书的时候,我每天大约写五千字,如果我在写短篇小说,我每天大约写三千字。我在项目之间会有很长一段时间的休息,当我读很多书,整理花园,思考下一本书或故事的时候。
