"なぜなら今日小説を書くのであれば、フィールドワークはますます失われた芸術になっているからです。必要なだけの時間を取り、人々と座り、深く掘り下げてください。銀河系は微小かもしれませんが、どんな詳細も小さすぎるということはありません。"
— Neil Gaiman
Simplified Meaning:
When writing stories these days, many people forget the importance of really getting out there and learning from real-life experiences. It's becoming less common for writers to take the time to talk to people, understand their lives, and gather the little details that make stories rich and believable. Imagine a journalist who wants to write about a small village. If they just use online research instead of actually visiting the village, talking to the locals, and observing their daily routines, their story won't feel as authentic or deep. Just like how even the tiniest stars add to the beauty of a galaxy, every small detail you learn from real interactions can enhance your writing. By spending time with people and observing closely, your stories will be richer and more compelling. This approach can help anyone, not just writers, to better understand and describe the world around them.
