I was nominated by the lovely Sidra of the blog The 7 Of Us, to take part in the Three Day Quote Challenge.
The Rules :
1) Thank the person who nominated you
2) Post a quote for 3 consecutive days ( 1 post each day )
3) Nominate 3 bloggers each day – I’m sorry, I’m a rebel, but I shall leave this open to you all!!!!!
Now, if you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know I have taken part in this one several times as I love a good quote!
Favourite quotes were used up the first couple of times, so I decided to theme each challenge.
This time I am going with Ernest Hemmingway and his words of wisdom.
I fear this is where I was going wrong with my first draft… writing sober… Next time I decide to pen a novel, I shall do it with my bottle of prosecco right next to me, and save the soberness for the editing!
Remember: If you fancy having a go, please do, and link back to this post!

What a coincidence. I just got a joke sent by some one in a whatsapp group as follows:
Mom : Alcohol is your enemy.
Jesus : Love thy enemy.
Case closed.
Hemingway must have got this much before others to write those masterpieces.
So have your favorite bottle next to you and start writing.

If you had the bottle, 18 years would have shrunk to 18 minutes😃

I think it is that my style has matured, the language I’d use now is more concise and direct, rather than the over use of basic words!
