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 greatly.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 meet with.If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to seize a fleeting(稍纵即逝的)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 pass 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 screen 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. 1.When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind “cannot work in parallel”(Line 4, Para.1)in the writing process, he means ________. A. no one can be both creative and critical B. they cannot be regarded as equally important C. they are in constant conflict with each other D. one cannot use them at the same time 2.What prevents people from writing on is ________. A.putting their ideas in raw form B.attempting to edit as they write C.ignoring grammatical soundness D.trying to capture fleeting thoughts 3.What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing? 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 4.One common concern of writers about “free writing” is that ________ A.it overstresses the role of the creative mind B.it takes too much time to edit afterwards C.it may bring about too much criticism D.it does not help them to think clearly 5.What’s the main idea of the passage? A.It introduces the author’s writing method B.It tells us something about the creative mind C.It stresses the importance of critical mind D.It shows the difficulties to write on the fly |

我一生的大部分时间都在写作。《写作没有老师》这本书向我介绍了一种区别和一种练习帮助我的写作过程中大大的区别是创造性思维和批判性思维之间。当你需要聘请既得到一个结果,他们不能在平行无论工作我们多么想要这样。
要批评的飞行文字可能是写作,我们大多数人遇到的最大障碍。如果你正在听的第五年级的英语老师纠正你的语法,你试图抓住稍纵即逝的(稍纵即逝的)思想,思想就会死亡。如果你抓住了稍纵即逝的想法和分享它在原始形式的世界,没有人会理解的。你必须学会如果你想让写作成为思维的工具创造,然后批判。
实践中,可以帮助你通过学习坏习惯尝试编辑为你写的是Elbow所谓的“自由写作”。在自由写作,目的是把话写在纸上不停的,通常是20分钟15-。不停止,不回头,不作批判。我们的目标是让文字流畅,语言开始流动,想法就会从阴影中,让自己在你的记事本或屏幕捕获。
现在你有了你可以开始使用的基本材料,你可以说服自己坐在旁边静静地看着,很可能你会相信这会比你实际拥有的时间更长,最后期限临近时你会茫然地看着书页。
不要盯着一个空白的屏幕,开始用文字填充它,不管它有多糟糕。在你可用的一半时间内,停下来,把你的原始文字重新加工成更接近成品的东西。来回移动直到你用完时间,最终结果很可能会比你目前的做法好得多。
