I can draw pencil lines to show something is moving, but if I'm writing, I struggle with how to write it. The boy ran down the hallway? The boy ran quickly down the hallway? The boy ran down the marble hallway? I agonize over the words. So my editor works very hard. I'm lucky to have her.

我可以用铅笔画出运动的物体,但如果我在写作,我就会纠结于如何去写。那个男孩跑过走廊?男孩飞快地跑下走廊。男孩跑下大理石走廊?我为这些话而苦恼。所以我的编辑工作非常努力。我很幸运有她。
