Hemingway really understood writing. This is one hell of a speech

[EdnaAtNutro]

This speech is still powerful since originally presented in 1954. :-)

Using someone as a source of inspiration doesn't mean that you have the exact same viewpoint as them on every facet of life. In fact, it has nothing to do with that at all. Maye you should try to comprehend what people actually mean before you try to show off your knowledge.

[thijsdebacker]

You clearly don't know your source of inspiration that well as you think. What did Hemingway think about the feedback of other writers?

[Anthony Gonzalez]

I posted that seven months ago and in the time since then, you're the first person to think so. And although I asked for some FEEDBACK, not useless slights from some immature kid who finds it amusing to sit by his lonesome surfing the web for opportunities to offer rude comments, I'll say thanks anyway. Oh and if it "sucks", then I encourage you to write something better :) have a nice day.

[thijsdebacker]

It sucks.

[dukiemac]

What a great man.

[Marcanthony Tumminello]

short, concise and to the point, just like his work.

[Jayson Ducharme]

“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”

[pukeyourguts]

wow
