Am reading the revised edition of Moveable Feast released late last year that includes much of text cut from the book published after Hemingway’s death. Once again, I am amazed at the writing skill of the master. One great quote of his applies to every writer who has trouble continuing the writer process. It is:
“Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now. All you have to do is to write one true sentence, and then go on from there.”
Okay, then, when you hit a wall, think of “one true sentence,” one great thought, and continue on. Most of all, never give up. The writing process is a lengthy one, filled with hills and valleys, but determination will pull you through.
