Advice from Ernest Hemingway
Write the truest sentence that you know
Consider your options carefully. I mean don't settle for:
"The earth orbits the sun."
or
"I have two noses eyes, one nose, two ears and one mouth."
~~~~~
Stuck? Here's a few ideas that may inspire you to create one that is better.
Your choice, as always.
Compose a sentence to convey a truth about which you feel strongly.
Have you have observed something about a person or a group of friends which always holds true for them? That "something" may inspire your truest sentence.
(Just think before sharing)
Ironic statements sometimes point to a truth but do they qualify as the truest sentence?
It may depend on your wording.
Take time to dig deep inside yourself. What is true about you?
~~~~~
Got it? Good
You've done what Ernest Hemingway recommended!
Can you do what SherryT recommends?
"Write the falsest sentence that you can."
As in the Hemingway exercise, don't settle for:
"Everyone on Earth lives a mile above the Grand Canyon."
or
Coffee is just a cup of tea brewed backwards.
Here's a better effort.
Can you create a sentence falser than the following one?
"Painstaking research has demonstrated that everyone on Earth is honest."
~~~~~
Mine? Eh. See below.
"I've always thought my brain contained Fig Newton crumps
but now I see that was just a fignewton of my amalgamation."
I'm not satisfied with mine yet but I'm out of time for now.
Fantasizing Fotos Fridays #9 will be up soon!
