Listen up Hemingwaywantabes because if you want to learn from the master, you might consider reading Hemingway, The Final Years by Michael Reynolds. It is a fascinating book in terms of telling the Hemingway story, but it is also filled with jewels of information regarding his writing style.
For instance, at page 145, the biographer notes, “[Hemingway] never knew precisely what was going to happen in any book he wrote; whatever plants he had always went astray when the story got away from him. So he lived in the book, inventing it day by day, letting it develop organically.”
Yes, some great words of wisdom. Are you living in your book?
