Comment on Leave work slightly unfinished for easier flow the next day

Comments

This was something Hemingway did. He'd stop writing mid-sentence when he knew where things were going, so he could pick up and continue on the next day.

"Learned never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it. I always worked until I had something done, and I always stopped when I knew what was going to happen next. That way I could be sure of going on the next day." — Ernest Hemingway
