Hemingway's Writing Group Rejection

Hemingway's Writing Group Rejection

Ernest Hemingway's ghost tried joining a modern online writing group. He posted the opening of 'The Old Man and the Sea.' The feedback: 'Needs more world-building. Where's the magic system? Also, the old man lacks a compelling backstory—consider giving him a tragic romance subplot and maybe a talking fish companion. And could you add some chapters from the marlin's POV? We need to understand his motivation for being caught.'
