I’ve been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.
Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.
The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls "free writing." In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.
Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.
Instead of staring at a blank, start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through your available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.
What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing?
选项
A、To organize one’s thoughts logically.
B、To choose an appropriate topic.
C、To get one’s ideas down.
D、To collect raw materials.
答案
C
解析
纵观全文,从某种角度来看,文章论述的其实就是写作顺序问题。文章前半部分分析了创造性思维与批评性思维的关系,得出了必须先运用创造性思维记下想法而后再运用批判性思维进行修改的观点(You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is)。后半部分对如何运用创造性思维和批判性思维进行了具体描述。根据文意,写作的第一步就是运用创造性思维把观点记下来,记下来的方法就是free writing,即想到哪里就记到哪里,把想法有逻辑地组织起来。Free writing的方法就是把想法自由记下,而不做修改。要做到“有逻辑地”组织,显然应该是进行了修改,是批判性思维的结果。因此A项不正确。B和D两项文中并未提及,属于无中生有。因此选择C。
