Attention Aspiring Writers

"If a writer has something to say, he should write it."
                                                                              --E.H.

But know this--one of the central elements in the enduring appeal of Hemingway is that he conveys the impression one need have no special skills to become a writer.  Credulous readers with high ambition, beware; for where is the reader who does not entertain the thought of becoming a writer?
