Been reading the "Letters of Ernest Hemingway" -- amazing writer, whether sending a note to his letter carrier or writing to his mom. Letterwriting is an art that I'm afraid is dying in our technological world.
“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really
happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all
that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and
the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places
and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to
people, then you are a writer.”
