Heminway

A term used to desribe someone who is a writer, though more frequently someone who fashions him/herself a writer but really isn't, or is not a very good one; derived from the name Ernest Hemingway, famed American novelist and story writer, but with the "g" removed to give it a colliquial informal feel, suggesting its ironic nature.

Don’t be spooked by the same old and tired lexicon; sure, it’ll takes some cojones, but you can write it so much better using your own Hemingwords,,, after all,, it’s your name on the by-line.
