Stories, as much as we like to talk about them, retrospectively, as emanations of theme or worldview or intention, occur primarily as technical objects when they're being written. Or at least they do for me. They're the result of thousands of decisions made at speed during revision.

故事，尽管我们很喜欢谈论它们，回顾过去，作为主题、世界观或意图的发散，当它们被写出来的时候，主要是作为技术对象发生的。至少对我来说是这样。它们是在修改过程中快速做出的数千个决定的结果。
