Hemingway’s Secret For Productivity

We all know Ernest Hemingway. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. He was an American writer and journalist. During his lifetime he wrote and had published seven novels; six collections of short stories; and two works of non-fiction. (I totally stole half of that info from Wikipedia!) Hehe..

As we’re all familiar, the biggest problem for a writer (or even bloggers) is “Writer’s Block”. Every writer/blogger would have faced this situation once in his/her lifetime. Hemingway had his way of coping it. Here’s a nice quote I found:

The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day … you will never be stuck. Always stop while you are going good and don’t think about it or worry about it until you start to write the next day. That way your subconscious will work on it all the time. But if you think about it consciously or worry about it you will kill it and your brain will be tired before you start.

So, let these wise words bring more contentment and productivity in your life. Peace out!
