Day 350: One True Sentence

Day 350: One True Sentence


According to his memoirs,

Hemingway
used to encourage himself
to the page
by telling himself
to start with
one true sentence
and write it down.

“Write the truest sentence that you know.¹”

 

He said the story would build from there.

 

It is my hope
that one can do that with a life, too.
