Ernest
Hemingway gave the following advice to help with writer’s block. “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
when you are writing a novel you will never be stuck. That is the most valuable
thing I can tell you so try to remember it.”
Some of my
writer friends and I often write until we are stumped then go to bed and sleep
on it. Funny that seems to never work. I have a tough time stopping if I am on
a roll. Seems Hemingway thinks you quit when you are ahead. He seemed to do
okay, maybe he has something here.
By the way
my checker didn't like Hemingway using good instead of well.
That’s my
two cents for today time to ride off into this evenings Laramie Range sunset.

I should have read that before I stopped, so I'm in a block right now.
I get a block once in a while myself. I think it is too hard to stop when you know where the story is going.
