The Hemingway Diet

Ernest Hemingway

About

A young writer asked Hemingway for advice on how to write better. Hemingway replied: "Write drunk, edit sober." The young writer followed this advice religiously for a year. He now has a severe drinking problem and a manuscript that just says "ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY" repeated 300 times. Turns out Hemingway never actually said that.
