Troubadour
Seven words from Hemingway. Simple, to the point.
I believe those words, and I question those who argue against them. The question that comes to mind: If it's not ****, then you publish it without editing, right?
My rough draft is a brain purge. I just type up words as the characters speak. I don't back up to change words, and my dictionary, thesaurus, and style guide gather dust for 150 days during the purge. Some argue that stifling that flow leads to a stilted, sterile final product. I don't know, never tried it.
Regardless, my form of writing that first draft lends truth to Hemingway's words. I just look back at the first draft of my works and think eww.
But, that is how I write.
Here's the question for the group:
If you believe Hemingway, why?
If you think Hemingway is full of sh**, why?
Come on. Convince us why those words are, or are not true.
