📚 With Hemingway: A Year in Key West and Cuba by Arnold Samuelson / 865710
An aspiring writer once asked Ernest Hemingway, “How can a writer train himself?” Hemingway shared an exercise for sharpening a writer's observational skills so they can vividly describe their experiences on paper. This exercise can be broken down into three-steps and gives us a fantastic way to practice “show, don’t tell” in our writing.

    • ​@@happymaskedguy1943 Ah, I understand the skepticism! Writing with your whole being isn't about penning a grocery list with fervor-it's about infusing your words with depth and authenticity. It's about channeling your experiences, emotions, and observations into your writing, creating a tapestry of human expression. If that's 'nonsense,' then maybe we should all embrace a bit more nonsense in our lives. After all, writing with emotion is just the tip of the iceberg, writing with your whole being is diving deep into the waters of creativity and connection.

  • Many, many years ago while attending yet another writer's workshop, I discovered the 3 Keys to Successful Fiction Writing, scrawled on a blackboard with yellow chalk, in huge letters: Inspiration Aspiration Perspiration I've long forgotten everything about that workshop, save that blackboard image. I'm a good writer. I had a successful career as a writer-producer in commercial television for nearly 20 years, won a stack of awards, even had some success in Periodical writing (aptly named). But I have been a complete and absolute failure as a novelist. Because while possessing two of those three keys, I have lacked the one most important: *Inspiration* Examine the career of any successful novelist and you will find, at its heart, an abundance of inspiration. Without it, even the best wordsmiths are doomed to fail.

    @lonewolf5238@lonewolf52385 ай бұрын

    • If you're relying on inspiration you'll never get anywhere. Inspiration is a cop out. Replace that with discipline and you'll be fine. Too many people romanticise writing and let the muse or inspiration lead them.

  • I am not attempting to be a contrarian, I just found it interesting that recently I have been reading "Reading Like A Writer" by Francine Prose. I believe she is the first person I've seen that questions the form of bad advice given young writers, that the author is to show not tell. "Needless to say, many great novelists combine 'dramatic' showing with long sections of the flat-out authorial narration that is, I guess what is meant by telling." I won't quote any more of her book here, but it's the first chapter called "Close Reading" and on page 25 of my copy. She says this after quoting a selection by Alice Munro that she notes does not follow this rule. The entire piece is nuanced and I believe worth reading, this work by Francine Prose has become my favorite book on writing/reading. Thanks for the opportunity to comment, have a good day, cheers!

  • "Show, Not Tell" is something taught in middle school and the writing rule everyone knows which I've also seen a lot of online writers ignore the most

  • If you look at Old Man and the Sea it's notable that EH is not really show don't tell. He is more "tell AND show" or "show AND tell". "The brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks." "The sun was hot now and the old man felt it on the back of his neck and felt the sweat trickle down his back as he rowed." "It was cold after the sun went down and the old man's sweat dried cold on his back and his arms and his old legs."

    • In this case, showing is not trying to evade writing from the character's pov. It's not relling you how he feels. "He was tired."
