“Forget your personal tragedy. We are all bitched from the start and you especially have to be hurt like hell before you can write seriously. But when you get the damned hurt use it—don’t cheat with it”
— Ernest Hemingway
Simplified Meaning:
Everyone faces problems in life. These challenges are part of everyone's journey. To become a good writer, you must feel deep pain. When you do experience this pain, use it in your writing instead of avoiding it.
