Hemingway Exercise
Why no results posted from our Hemingway dialogue exercise of earlier this week? Did you guys have trouble with it, or was it just not enjoyable? Or are you all still writing furiously and diligently?
Incidentally, I did a bit of research on the American’s comment that the operation is “Just to let the air in.” This refers to an abortion procedure labeled a “vacuum aspiration” — which is performed just as the name would lead you to imagine it is. Those interested can check it out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_aspiration.
It was a great exercise! I loved the challenge and enjoyed working on it, just haven’t had time to post it. I will work on getting it up on the blog.
Thanks for the info you researched too. Interesting.
