Writing Good And Bad Left

More From Ernest Hemingway

A writer's life is so hazardous that anything he does is bad for him. anything that happens to him is bad: failure's bad, success is bad; impoverishment is bad, money is very, very bad. nothing good can happen... except the act of writing.
Writing Doe Life Is
I don't think it matters if there is a god or not. i've met people who believe in god that are good and that are bad. and i've met people who don't believe in god that are good and that are bad. so, just be good. i'm good. not cos i think i'll go to heaven but because when i do something bad, i feel bad. and when i do something good, i feel good.

"all right then," said the savage defiantly, i'm claiming the right to be unhappy." "not to mention the right to grow old and ugly and impotent; the right to have syphilis and cancer; the right to have too little to eat, the right to be lousy; the right to live in constant apprehension of what may happen tomorrow; the right to catch typhoid; the right to be tortured by unspeakable pains of every kind." there was a long silence. "i claim them all," said the savage at last.

A lot of young actors have the idea that, "i've got to do this right. there's a right way to do this." but there's no right or wrong. there's only good and bad. and "bad" usually happens when you're trying too hard to do it right. there's a very broad spectrum of things that can inhibit you. the most important thing for actors - and not just actors, but everybody - is to feel loose enough to create what you want to create, and be free to try anything. to have choices.
Success Ideas Choices
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.

I do not suppose that anyone not a poet can realize the agony of creating a poem. every nerve, even every muscle, seems strained to the breaking point. the poem will not be denied; to refuse to write it would be a greater torture. it tears its way out of the brain, splintering and breaking its passage, and leaves that organ in the state of a jelly-fish when the task is done.
Writing Creating Agony
I'm not good at happy, lightweight kind of music. i'm not really good at pop music. "cars" is probably the only true pop song i ever wrote. i wish i could write more, but i'm not very good at it.

As for writing about temptation, there's no drama without temptation, and no novel without drama.

Now that i understand how publishing schedules work, i can understand why many authors have the sophomore slump. a year is a long time to wait for a sequel, but it's a short, short time to write a sequel.
