In case you were wondering, this blog’s subheading is an extension of something Hemingway once said. According to him, “writing is easy; all you have to do is sit at your keyboard and bleed.” Well, no one can do your bleeding for you – writing still requires ability, passion, and lots and lots of hard work – but if you’re really determined to open your veins for your art, the least we can do is provide you with a scalpel. We may even sterilise it first.
