I have known very few writers, but those I have known, and whom I respected, confess at once that they have little idea where they are going when they first set pen to paper. They have a character, perhaps two; they are in that condition of eager discomfort which passes for inspiration; all admit radical changes of destination once the journey has begun; one, to my certain knowledge, spent nine months on a novel about Kashmir, then reset the whole thing in the Scottish Highlands. I never heard of anyone making a "skeleton", as we were taught at school. In the breaking and remaking, in the timing, interweaving, beginning afresh, the writer comes to discern things in his material which were not consciously in his mind when he began.
This organic process, often leading to moments of extraordinary self-discovery, is of an indescribable fascination. A blurred image appears, he adds a brushstroke and another, and it is gone; but something was there, and he will not rest till he has captured it. Sometimes the yeast within a writer outlives a book he has written. I have heard of writers who read nothing but their own books, like adolescents they stand before the mirror, and still cannot fathom the exact outline of the vision before them. For the same reason, writers talk interminably about their own books, winkling out hidden meanings, superimposing new ones, begging response from those around them.
Of course a writer doing this is misunderstood: he might as well try to explain a crime or a love affair. He is also, incidentally, an nnforgivable bore. This temptation to cover the distance between himself and the reader, to study his image in the sight of those who do not know him, can be his undoing: he has begun to write to please.
A young English writer made the pertinent observation a year or two back that the talent goes into the first draft, and the art into the drafts that follow. For this reason also the writer, like any other artist, has no resting place, no crowd or movement in which he may take comfort, no judgment from outside which can replace the judgment from within. A writer makes order out of the anarchy of his heart; he submits himself to a more ruthless discipline than any critic dreamed of, and when he flirts with fame, he is taking time off from living with himself, from the search for what his world contains at its inmost point.
According to the passage, the process of writing
选项
A、depends on skillful planning.
B、is predictable and methodological.
C、depends on the writers’ experiences.
D、is disorderly and unsystematic.
答案
D
解析
细节推断题。第1段明确指出,作者熟悉的那些作家在写作过程中没有既定的思路,情节设置也往往根据需要或更深了解素材后才做出相应的变化和调整,这就表明,写作过程有点“混乱”,构思也不很系统化;此外,第2段提到,如果作家脑海中出现了朦胧的形象,他们会在此基础上做任意的改动。由此可见,D正确。根据文中介绍,写作过程并没有完整的构思,也无法预见,只是在写作过程中不断完善,可很快将A、B排除。此外,作家在写作的过程中会更多地了解所搜集的素材,这也与经历无关,故C也排除。
