Hemingway said that because he liked his own image as the guy who bleeds. The author of that post who quoted it I think actually believed it. I say that because I tried to throw her a bone and I bought her book. I'm not generally a harsh critic, because I respect effort in creation, but that thing was unreadable. Almost literally, as I had no idea if there was a plot, or characters, or simply words and vaguely sentences. It took me probably 20 minutes to get through three pages and I quit. Then she turned into one of those people who reamed out "hubski" for being dicks after the only people who purchased that steaming pile of garbage besides her parents were from this website. Oh man, what a shitty trip down hubski memory lane.

I clicked the "look inside" and made a similar evaluation without paying her.

Which, I think, makes me a much worse person than you.

I'll save the moral judgement for others. It at least makes me a bigger sucker than you. Never getting that $3 back.
