Ooh to just let another great author get his acknowledgment alongside Hemingway there was a story told about [c=#4C0073]Joyce[/c].
So one afternoon a friend of Joyce's entered his study to see how he was getting along.
He saw Joyce sitting there with his face in his hands, apparently in utter agony and despair.
His friend asked "[c=#800055]James what on earth is the matter[/c]"
James Joyce not saying anything sort of indicated towards his type writer (what else could be causing him so much emotional agony but his writing?)
His friend asked "[c=#800055]Well never mind, much did you manage to write today?[/c]"
James Joyce face still buried in his hands "[c=#4C0073]eight words[/c]"
[c=#800055]Eight words well for you thats good, well done.[/c]
And Joyce now lost utterly in gloom said "[c=#4C0073]Yes but I don't know in what order they go[/c]"
