Let’s start this year with some wonderful writing advice from Ernest Hemingway.
I’ve just uploaded a new YouTube video sharing Hemingway’s 3-step exercise that will help you improve your writing. I hope this video gives you a bit of inspiration as you work towards your 2023 writing goals.
An aspiring writer once asked Ernest Hemingway, “How can a writer train himself?” Hemingway shared an exercise for sharpening a writer’s observational skills so they can vividly describe their experiences on paper. This exercise can be broken down into three-steps and gives us a fantastic way to practice “show, don’t tell” in our writing.
You can click on the CC button for subtitles. My goal is for this video to help as many writers as possible. 🙂 It would be awesome if you could give it a thumbs up on YouTube and share it with a fellow writer. And I always love hearing your thoughts in the comments. Thank you!
Here’s the full text of Hemingway’s article “Monologue to the Maestro”.

A few of weeks ago I downloaded an audio file of Charlton Heston reading “The Old Man and the Sea” to listen to while out in the woods. One passage stood out, and I made a mental note to locate it in the book and write it down, which I did. Turns out it was the same passage you featured in this video, about being alone on the sea.
I’m glad I found your video and, subsequently, your blog. I’d like to improve my writing, and I appreciate your focus on classic writers like Hemingway and London.
