She gave the girl a trademark Greenwood smile. She was really interested in writing and Egypt loved that. "Its really wonderful and its never a dull day," she told him. Egypt looked horrified at the thought. "Oh no dear. You get paid to turn in true and accurate stories. Thats why your research is so important. You could get into trouble for printing a false or fake story." She let her heart slow down, she didn't want to scare the girl. "We do have copy editors who's job it is to do fact checking and check for grammar and things like that. But even with that they expect the writer to have done their job properly at first. The copy editors don't have the time to rewrite your stories." She smiled. She sat down on the end of the table, with some difficulty seeing as how it was taller than she expected. "Do you write?" she asked gently.
