"编辑你作品的秘诀很简单：你需要成为它的读者而不是它的作者"

Simplified Meaning:
When you look over something you wrote, don't think like the person who created it; think like someone who is reading it for the first time. This way, you can catch mistakes or see parts that are confusing. Imagine writing a story and asking a friend to read it. They might notice things you missed because they're seeing it with fresh eyes. You can do the same by pretending you're not the author but a new reader. This helps you find and fix issues, making your writing clearer and better. So, step back, change your perspective, and review your work as if it's new to you.
