Kindle Notes & Highlights
Some writers, as Hemingway said in Green Hills of Africa, are born only to help another writer to write one sentence.
The hardest thing, because time is so short, is for him to survive and get his work done.
Good writing is true writing. If a man is making a story up it will be true in proportion to the amount of knowledge of life that he has and how conscientious he is; so that when he makes something up it is as it would truly be.
You are a better writer than Fielding or any of those guys and you should just know it and keep on writing.
