To determine what Hemingway thought of his writing based on this quote, we need to analyze his words. Hemingway says, "For a long time now I have tried simply to write the best I can." This shows that he is striving to produce the highest quality work possible.

He goes on to say, "Sometimes I have good luck...and write BETTER than I can." This statement implies that there are times when Hemingway's writing exceeds his own expectations. It suggests that he may have moments of inspiration or creative flow where his writing surpasses his own perceived abilities.

Given this analysis, it can be concluded that Hemingway had confidence in his writing ability and recognized that it sometimes surpassed his own expectations. Therefore, option B, "He doesn't think very highly of his writing ability," is not accurate.
