A friend of mine was fond of drawing horses. He drew the horses very well, but he always began at the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse. That is why I was surprised. It lets me know that it cannot really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rules. They make their own rules. Everyone of them does his work in a peculiar(特殊的) way, and the peculiarity means only that he finds it easier to work in that way. And if 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, then, asking this question shows you are not yet experienced enough to trust your own power. When you become more experienced, you will never ask the question. And I think that you may begin at the tail—that is to say, you will write that end of the story before you even thought of the beginning.
