It sickens me that there are writers out there reading this garbage and thinking to themselves that they could get by on someone else's style and way of relaying perceptions. I would say that unless you are truely looking at this list objectively; attempting to pick up some helpful writing tips, then you need to check yourself out and leave this business to those who focus on new and creative approaches to thinking without plagairizing someone else's style. I'm sure he was a great writer (actually looking for some of his stuff now for some light reading, but am trying not to because I don't want to be swayed into a new style. I like mine.), but to actually get hung up on becoming the guy when you are writing is madness. Think for yourselves.

I can tell just by looking at you, although it's true that all humans have their evil points, too. Maybe not you, however. You have that pure look. I don't know. It's something about red heads. It's deceptive. Anyway, I'd like to read some of your writing. See how other Hemingway fans incorporate that influence into their work, you know? I think it can still be done. Successfully. Where can I read your work? And thank you for your kindness in this cold, hard world. Brad Hello Sweety,

Those were all great suggestions and very helpful ones. Very insightful, too. Can help anyone write better. I hope I didn't seem negative in my comments. I might have been drinking at the time, though it's hard to tell. My outlook tends to get rather bleak when I do that. Say, Joanna, do you know of any online writer's groups that share stories for critique? I live in San Antonio, Texas, and it seems a bit difficult to find very many of these groups. I thought an online group might be better. Brad Howdy Joanna,
