My instructors always refer me to the same essay, "The Shitty First Draft" and recommend that I practice slinging it down without any editing. When I sling it down, it comes out like Hemmingway; short, simple statements. Editing turns it into more complicated constructions, but I always write in a very "spoken" style. So this particular story was slung down with no editing.Manai'a Explorationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18012755736789040211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31607368.post-46488549181718312492011-01-22T05:28:13.836-07:002011-01-22T05:28:13.836-07:00Your writing is moving into a Hemmingway style.Your writing is moving into a Hemmingway style.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
