“The first draft of anything is shit.” – Ernest Hemingway The first draft of anything is terrible. A disaster. You’ll hate it. But it’s where all the good things start. That’s why you hang this print where you work. Above your desk. By the bookshelf. Somewhere it can glare at you and tell the truth. Hemingway didn’t mince words. He fought bulls, drank too much, and wrote like his life depended on it. He knew the first draft wasn’t the finish line—it was the mess you had to wrestle into shape. This print is the reminder. The nudge. The smirk from the man himself telling you, “Get back to it.” Printed on thick matte paper. Framed in solid wood. It’s sharp, timeless, and unflinchingly honest—just like Hemingway. Hang it where you’ll see it. Or where someone will ask about it. Then pour a drink and tell them all about the first draft that started it all. Because good writing? It’s rewriting. • Ayous wood .75″ (1.9 cm) thick frame from renewable forests• Paper thickness: 10.3 mil (0.26 mm)• Paper weight: 189 g/m²• Lightweight• Acrylite front protector• Hanging hardware included• Blank product components sourced from Japan and the USHow to attach hooks on 24″ × 36″ horizontal frames:Place each of the mounting hooks 1 inch (2.5 cm) from frame corners when hanging horizontally.
