Back "between the wars" there was a famous disagreement about "put-in-ers" (Thomas Wolfe) and "take-out-ers" (Scott Fitzgerald). It became clear they both had something to offer (though Fitzgerald's reputation has clearly continued to flourish in a way Wolfe's has not). Which way one "should" write is a function of the kind of talent you have. Pity the inherent put-in-er whose early infatuation (as a reader) was for Hemingway, because the inclination of youthful would-be writers is to imitate the writers they love. With luck they will soon discover what is given to them to do.
