Ernest Hemingway’s Top 5 Tips for Writing Well



Always use short sentences

Rule No. 1



Use short 1st paragraphs

Rule No. 2



Use vigorous English

Rule No. 3



“Vigorous English is muscular, forceful. Vigorous English

comes from passion, focus and intention.

It’s the difference between putting in a good effort and

TRYING to move a boulder… and actually sweating, grunting,

straining your muscles to the point of exhaustion… and

MOVING the freaking thing!”

David Garfinkel



Be positive, not negative

Rule No. 4



Only use the gold

Rule No. 5



“I write one page of masterpiece to ninety-one pages of shit,” Hemingway confided to F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1934.

“I try to put the shit in the wastebasket.”
