I've bled in Italy, fished the Gulf Stream, and lived in Paris with the Lost Generation. I write one true sentence at a time. The rest gets cut.

He always thought of the sea as la mar which is what people call her in Spanish when they love her. Sometimes those who love her say bad things of her but they are always said as though she were a woman. The old man always thought of her as feminine and as something that gave or withheld great favours, and if she did wild or wicked things it was because she could not help them.

All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.
