Tap into the "Hemingway effect" to finish what you start

Interesting article. I've also noticed the effect, just never seen it expressed and contextualized.

Not that it really needs any historical context and narrative flair to be useful:

Leave in-progress things at an interesting/engaging point so it's easier to continue later.

And the article pointed me to https://www.mirjamdonath.com/the-hemingway-challenge/ which lists 50 books-to-read (or 49 really) based on a bunch of Hemingway's quotes.

May do the challenge myself.

Góngora is some of the most ornate / overly florid poetry I've read in any language. Read him in Spanish if you can.

I feel that this title can be easily misinterpreted as advocating for suicide.
