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.

选项
A、work out the ending of a novel in advance.
B、follow the writing methods learned at school.
C、remodel the main character in writing.
D、make changes to the stories they first construct.
答案
D
解析
细节判断题。根据familiar with,confess及各选项内容定位到第1段。第1段指出,这些作家在写作前后,作品的内容往往可能发生极大的变化,其中作者提到,有一位作家就将小说的背景从克什米尔搬到了苏格兰高地。由此可见,D的表述符合文意,为本题答案。文中指出,这些作家动笔之前不会有整篇的构思,也不会按学校所教的那样列出提纲,A、B可排除。文中只说作者开始写作时可能心中已经设定了一两个角色,并没有提到会否重新塑造或改变作品的主要角色,故C应排除。
