Great Quote from a Great Writer
Hemingway didn’t know he was Ernest Hemingway when he was a young man.
Faulkner didn’t know he was William Faulkner.
But they had to take the first step. They had to call themselves writers.
That is the first revolutionary act a writer has to make.
It takes courage. But it’s necessary.
