I'm glad you liked it. I especially loved the sincerity with which Ernest spoke. I like knowing that they are direct words, not looking to beat around the bush or sound soft. He wanted to make it clear to his friend that, despite being a good writer, there were still things to work on.
Love this! Reminds me of the anecdotes I discovered in my great-grandfather’s memoir about his friendship with F. Scott Fitzgerald. check it out:

Oh, impressive.
Your great-grandfather was related to Fitzgerald, that surprised me. It was a pleasure to read the story of his memoir, quite a surprise for me :)
This is such a meaty article, I need to tack it to my wall and read it over and over. Thank you,Alvaro.
Hi Sue! :)

I like that sincerity.
As writers, we can learned so much from each other.
