The fact that I am interrupting serious work to answer these questions proves that I am so stupid that I should be penalized severely. I will be. Don't worry.

I always rewrite each day up to the point where I stopped. When it is all finished, naturally you go over it. You get another chance to correct and rewrite when someone else types it, and you see it clean in type. The last chance is in the proofs. You're grateful for these different chances.

Each day of not writing, of comfort, of being that which he despised, dulled his ability and softened his will to work so that, finally, he did no work at all.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
I would take anything I love and throw it off the highest cliff you ever saw and not wait to hear it bounce.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
I felt the death loneliness that comes at the end of every day that is wasted in your life.

This beer is good for you. This is draft beer. Stick with the beer. Let's go and beat this guy up and come back and drink some more beer.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
But you always fall for somebody else and then it's all right. Fall for them but don't let them ruin you.
