This story was inspired by a line in Bev Potter’s article on the Writers Challenge.

Thanks Bev, for the inspiration.

Bev wrote, “Hemingway could come back to life and write on Medium and he’d have 350 followers and make $0.50 a month.”

But I think it would be so much worse.

Can’t you see him becoming the most popular life hacker/self help guru on Medium?

Think of it.

I can’t think of a guy better suited to give life advice on Medium than a guy who killed himself.

But wait, you say, “Would he really write the same old shit we see here every day, instead of writing classic novels?”

Well folks, he already did it for/to us; every Hemingway promo below is based on quotes from The Old Man and The Sea.
