He was clearly the author of the century, and just the fact that you identify with his spirit tells me your writing career will blossom. Unfortunately, publishing good literature is not the same as it was in Ernie's day. We should really talk sometime. Thanks for the great post.<br /><br />By the way, I have read everything he wrote, and my favorite novel of all time is <i>For Whom the Bell Tolls.</i>JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14692103477055483000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608279570927513160.post-53267111596298773602011-02-24T19:57:07.314-08:002011-02-24T19:57:07.314-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Roxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09787088898112141579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608279570927513160.post-47229024123655224732011-02-24T17:34:16.910-08:002011-02-24T17:34:16.910-08:00I'm glad you liked this post, Carol.

My...Hemingway has always been an inspiration to me. My focus in school was on American literature, so of course, Hemingway was a big part of it. I loved his novels, but his short stories were some of the best, most perfectly crafter works of art. He must have slaved over every word. I know I could never write like Hemingway, but he inspires me to do better.<br /><br />Thanks so much for the uplifting words, Roxy.Carolina M.
