For Abi
[On her doorstep, she will find a typed, currently incomplete manuscript. It is approximately 50 pages, double spaced for notes. It is good. It is not perfect yet, but it is very good for a start. It is not any Hemingway story that has been published in her world, it is a bit darker, and a bit more strange than his usual work, but that distinctive voice and style is shining through clearly.
There is a handwritten note clipped to the top page on a piece of paper torn from a notebook.]
Abi -
I’m sorry I haven’t been in touch in a while. This is why.
I can’t write when I drink, so I’ve been trying to stop. Not been very good for company I don’t think, but I’ve been good for my typewriter.
Still want to be my critical friend?
Hope you’re doing okay and settling in well enough. Hope to see you soon.
Best -
Ernest
