根据下面资料,回答题 Worries of Writers
It is true that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some more. But in order to workup the desire to rewrite, it is important to learn to like what you write at the early stage.
I am surprised at the number of famous writers I know who say that they so dislike reading theirown writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers' opinions. One reason we may dislike reading our own work is that we' re often disappointed that the rich ideas in our minds seem verythin and plain when first written down. Jerry Fodor and Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be aresult of how our minds work.
Different from popular belief, we do not usually think in the words and sentences of ordinarylanguage but in symbols for ideas[known as "mentalese" (心理语) ]. And writing our ideas down isan act of translation from that symbolic language. But while mentalese contains our thoughts in theform of a complex tapestry(织锦) ,writing can only be composed one thread at a time. Therefore it
should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simple. It is only byrepeatedly rewriting that we produce new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formedin our minds.
When people write as if some strict critics(批评家) are looking over their shoulder,they are soworried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even start. Peter Elbow makesan excellent suggestion to deal with this problem. When writing we should have two different minds.At the first stage,we should see every idea, as well as the words we use to express it, as wonderful
and worth putting down. It is only during rewrites that we should examine what we excitedly wrote inthe first stage and check for weaknesses.
