The False Hemingway Typewriter Quote:

Something along the lines of: Writing is easy, you just sit at a typewriter and bleed.

Nope.

Hemingway actually never said this, which isn’t surprising. It’s too fluffy and empty for Hemingway.

It was actually penned by Red Smith, a daily news journalist. When asked if it was difficult writing daily he replied: “No, you simply open a vein and bleed.”
