The Life of Hemingway
At first I thought it was an essay written by Hemingway when he was in his 20s, and it was published in the old age collection, but when I opened the book and saw the statement and autograph of his fourth wife, Mary, I realized that it was specially written by the author when he was 60 years old. Pulled the trigger that everyone knows. I'm nowhere near the age of reminiscence, but want to know in advance what it's like to have a reminiscence that's especially striking. Hemingway recommends reading the entire book as a novel, even if at first glance each piece seems fairly independent and unrelated. This well-known book gave me new curiosity at the beginning and led me to the end.

Why I Won't Edit Your Book. Top Story - July 2022.
The other day, I was talking to a newer writer who wanted me to go through their writing and explain how it could be improved. I outright refused and they were unhappy with that, but we were interrupted and I didn't get to explain why I wouldn't do it. So, instead of explaining why to that person, I'm going to explain why to you.

Narrative Writing – What Is It and Why Do I Care?
Narrative writing is the bread and butter of all good storytellers. It is how we tell our stories, connecting the events, the people, and the places together. But narrative is so much more. While a “story” can catch the reader’s attention, it leaves it up to the reader to draw their own conclusion when the story ends. However, a “narrative” is the combination of the story and the plot that drive it. It unites all the distinct events in the short story, novel, or essay – fiction and nonfiction alike – and typically contains a beginning, middle, and end.

DEAR B,
This is for my love, I don't know what I would do without you. ENJOY! Dear B, I am writing how I feel about you because there is no words I can say to you that would be able to express how much I love you. You are just so perfect to me and I cannot tell if it is simply my love for you blocking out those imperfections of yours or if it is that I adore you enough to have learned to love them. With every passing day my feelings for you grow stronger. At first I just saw you as a friend, a best friend if you would. I was with you during lunch and after school. I would sit and watch as you played video games, or I would do simple things like helping you fix your car, sew a shirt, help you with an assignment. None of that ever really seemed like a big deal just a friend helping a friend that is until it did become a big deal to me.
