“One thing I'd do was put a great writer's book beside the typewriter and... type out a beautiful and moving paragraph... and see those sentences rising up... and... think, 'Someday maybe I can write like that....' It was like a dream of possibilities for my own self. And maybe I began to know that there was no other way for the sentence... to... arouse the same feeling. The someone writing whose words were rising from the typewriter became like a mentor for me.... You shouldn't do it more than a few times because you must get on with your own work.” ThinkingKnowsWayWritingI CanBookSelfFeelingsDreamBeautifulMovingMy OwnOne ThingPossibilityTypeSentencesRisingSomedayMentorParagraphTypewritersGreat WritersRising Up Author:Gina Berriault

“When I first came into international running, most runners did about 60-70 miles or running a week. I guess that is still the standard except for Kenya and Ethiopia. I was doing 150-250 a week and some weeks as high as 350. It was unheard of! But, because I did not have access to what was possible and standard, I had to set my own possibilities and standards. I was just lucky enough to be out of the loop and not know.” KnowsFirstsStillsEnoughRunningMy OwnWeekPossibilityLuckyStandardsInternationalAccessMilesRunnersKenyaLoopsUnheardEthiopia Author:Gerry Lindgren
