F.Scott Fitzgerald was a romantic from a young. From 1910 through 1911, he kept a notebook which he titled Thoughtbook of Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (Stewart 29). It contained information about his relationships with girls. In his notebook were many entries about Violet Stockton, whom he won the heart of as boy. In Princeton, his romantic ways would lead him to fall in love with a rich girl named Ginevra, but as he was a poor boy, she later left him for a navy officer.

There he helped write screenplays, but these were not nearly as astonishingly wrote as his books and short stories. After a portion of time, he quit writing screenplays. Then he quit drinking so he could write more and pay for all his bills including Scottie’s schooling and his wife’s hospital bills. He was working on his fifth book when he died.
