Having just finished Hemingway's Old Man of the
Sea again, love that book, my daughter and I got
to chatting about him some. So as usual, I hit
the internet looking up YouTube clips, Wikepedia
info (although not necessarily official), and
other internet resources. He sure made his way
around the world, and a bit accident prone as
well. Nonetheless when it comes to writing I
think the below is essential to remember.
"If a writer of prose knows enough of what he is
writing about he may omit things that he knows
and the reader, if the writer is writing truly
enough, will have a feeling of those things as
strongly as though the writer had stated them.
The dignity of movement of an ice-berg is due to
only one-eighth of it being above water. A writer
who omits things because he does not know them
only makes hollow places in his writing."
