Hemingway and True Writers

Posted by Mark Shaw on June 9, 2009

Hemingwaywantabes, let us not forget the master’s words about what it takes to be a writer:

All good books have one thing in common – they are truer than if they had really happened, and after you have read one of them, you will feel all that happened, happened to you and then it belongs to you forever: the happiness and the unhappiness, good and evil ecstasy and sorrow, the food, wine, beds people and the weather. If you can give that to the readers, then you’re a writer.

Amen!!!
