PEN PUSHING..
HOW AUTHORS WORK,
The publishers' Spring lists àre now. out which means that Mr. Author's toil of last year is about to bring him its reward in the shape of royalties. Gone are the days when the authors worked furiously in garrets on green tea and black coffee and finished one book in a week-as Johnson did 'Rasselas and slaved at another for ten years. Your author now works as efficient ly and regularly as any professional man. Arnold Bennett prides him- self on a machine-like mind.. Ho plans his work for months ahead, devotes so much time to novels, so much to journalism, so much to play writing, uses a pen, and once tried to save labour by dictating but found he couldn't manage it. Wells uses pen and pencil älter- nately, He is a five-hours-a-day man, but when he is wrapt in a work he will put in 8 or 9 hours and get up in the middle of the night to Newchwangepuuum, 2.30 a 1 fot down happy thoughts.
