　　It is true that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some more．But in order to work up 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 famouw writers I know who say that they so dislike reading their own 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 very thin and plain whern first written down．Jerry Fodor and Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be a result of how our minds work．

　　Different from popular belief ,wen do not usually think in the works and sentences of ordinary language but in symbois for ideas(known as “mentalese”), and writing our ideas down is an act of transtation from that symbolic language．But while mentalese contains our thoughts in the form of a complex tapestry(织锦)，writing can only be composed one thread at a time．Therefone it should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simple．It si only by repeatedly rewrting that wen producs new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds．

　　When people write as if some strict critics(批评家)are looking over their shoulder, they are so worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even start．Peter Elbow makes an excellent suggestion to deal with this problem．When writing wen 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 wen excitedly wrote in the first stage and check for weaknesses．
