Fifty years ago today, I am reminded, by A. E. Hotchner's Op-Ed piece in today's New York Times, Ernest Hemingway ended his life.
A nice line about how he endured poverty and rejection to write in his own style, the way he wanted to.
Time to get out for a bike ride in Rock Creek Park, the best a city dweller can do.

About Me
- DC Literary Outsider
- Washington, DC, United States
- Gandhi tells us to be the change we want to see in the world. I wanted to see a blog on writing. Not necessarily the craft stuff, the things you could learn in a classroom, but the basic matters (and mysteries) of creativity, depth and subject matter. I am a veteran barman of Washington, DC. My novel, A Hero For Our Time, a modern retelling of Hamlet, is available on Amazon.com. (My thanks to Mr. Lermontov, God rest his soul, for allowing me to nod to his singular classic.) What makes writing literature? Writing will always be an art form to honor.
