The spirit of Hemingway

This blog by no means compares my writing to that of Hemingway. It merely embraces his spirit. If you are stuck on a chapter or a rewrite, have a drink. If you are stuck on the next one have your characters drink. It all comes out smoother with alcohol. Its as though the drinking muffles your own thoughts and predisposed notions of what should be happening in your book and lets the characters speak in their own voices. I know, I know, I am not trying to promote alcoholism, I just found that my words come without effort when I relax, I didn't say get drunk for Pete's sake.
