I started writing by doing small related things but not the thing itself, circling it and getting closer. I had no idea how to write fiction. So I did journalism because there were rules I could learn. You can teach someone to write a news story. They might not write a great one, but you can teach that pretty easily.

我开始写作的时候，只是做一些与写作相关的小事情，而不是写作本身。我不知道怎么写小说。所以我做新闻是因为我可以学到一些规则。你可以教别人写新闻故事。他们可能写得不好，但你可以很容易地教他们。
