WRITERLY MYSTIQUE. HEMINGWAY. THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICHES



been thinking about mary's post below. and here's what i was thinking:
"i love hearing about how/where other writers find their inspiration. how they formulate their process. i wonder if blogs/internet communication has taken away some of the mystique behind writers/writing. i mean, what if hemingway had facebook and he was our "friend" and we all knew he was just sitting around, drinking beer, jotting things down on a napkin while he's watching people argue in a restaurant and we all knew he wrote 4,294 words before dinner. would hemingway still be a superhero?"

  1. An autistic kid who eats paint chips on the reg would be my hero if he wrote 4,294 words every day on Denny's placemats in crayon that said something.

    I think the writer matters less to me than the words.
