Write And Bleed
“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” ― Ernest Hemingway
the easiest thing to do—bleed !
the difficult part—-how to cut open the wound of imagination !
So true! But to bleed, to spill all my guts is not that easy for me, sometimes I recoil at the thought of sharing myself completely. But if one wants to be a writer, one does not have a choice,one must give away pieces of oneself, leaving none, not even crumbs.
@ Jofelyn …..Sadly, good old vultures(readers) are getting extinct. Many a good fleshy bodies left to rot. On the other hand crows are flourishing and they are happy feeding on dead rats and other small rodents.
Hmm…provocative thought!
Nobody could have said it better than Hemingway.
