Question
Ernest Hemingway rose at 5:00 and wrote until what time?


Answer
Hello,

The following should be helpful.

"I have thin eyelids, and the first light of dawn wakes me up, so I go to work, and stay at it until a little after noon. After lunch, I usually go fishing."

    -- Quoted in "Hemingway Novel of Venice Completed at Home in Cuba" by Ben F. Meyer. Reprinted in "Conversations with Ernest Hemingway" edited by Matthew J. Bruccoli.
