Writers Quote – Ernest Hemingway

The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in,
shock-proof, shit detector. This is the writer’s radar
and all great writers have had it.

    Shit detector? Howard Roark summed it in ‘Fountainhead’, when he said ‘I do bad work too, occasionally. Difference is that my bad work ends up in my wastepaper basket.’

      I like Hemingway’s quote better than Ayn Rand’s…

        Hmm, I love both actually.
        Rather, I love Howard Roark the character, so I love everything about him.
