     A friend of mine was fond of (喜欢) drawing a horse. He drew the horses very well, but he always
began at the tail (尾巴). Now it is the western rule to begin at the head of the horse , that is why I was
 surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any dilference whether the artist begins at the head
 or the tail or the belly (肚子) or the foot of the house, if he really knows his business. And most great
 artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rule. They make their own rules.
 Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar (奇特的) to himself, and the peculiarity means only
 that he finds it more easy to work in that way.
     Now the very same thing is true to literature (文学). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only
 means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you
 are not yet experienced (有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more
 experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail. that is to say,
 you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.
