More From Ernest Hemingway

Read this and thought of you: through joy and through sorrow, i wrote. through hunger and through thirst, i wrote. through good report and through ill report, i wrote. through sunshine and through moonshine, i wrote. what i wrote it is unnecessary to say. ~ edgar allen poe
Sunshine Joy Sorrow
I've been writing for a long time, since the late '60s. but it hasn't been in the same form. i used to write scripts for television. i wrote for my comedy act. then i wrote screenplays, and then i started writing new yorker essays, and then i started writing plays. i didn't start writing prose, really, until the new yorker essays, but they were comic. i didn't start writing prose, really, until the '90s. in my head, there was a link between everything. one thing led to another.

There is a growing subculture of barefoot runners, people who got rid of their shoes. and what they have found uniformly is you get rid of the shoes, you get rid of the stress, you get rid of the injuries and the ailments.

I wrote a huge number of letters that spring: one a week to naoko, several to reiko, and several more to midori. i wrote letters in the classroom, i wrote letters at my desk at home with seagull in my lap, i wrote letters at empty tables during my breaks at the italian restaurant. it was as if i were writing letters to hold together the pieces of my crumbling life.
Spring Home Writing
I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
Writing Hard Times Thinking
Essentially, the scripts are not that different. let's say, in literary terms, it's the difference between writing horizontally and writing vertically. in live television, you wrote much more vertically. you had to probe people because you didn't have money or sets or any of the physical dimensions that film will allow you. so you generally probed people a little bit more. film writing is much more horizontal. you can insert anything you want: meadows, battlefields, the taj mahal, a cast of thousands. but essentially, writing a story is writing a story.

I think that anyone really can write songs, it just takes having an idea and a feeling and chasing it, and you can learn more about it. i think that's why i go to so many sessions. it is a craft that you can learn from other people. i find it to be the most fascinating thing. so i write a lot, yeah!
Song Writing Thinking
The daily act of writing remains as demanding and maddening as it was before, and the pleasure you get from writing - rare but profound - remains at the true heart of the enterprise. on their best days, writers all over the world are winning pulitzers, all alone in their studios, with no one watching.
