Just a thought for the day:
As I prepare to run my second SF Half Marathon and as I work on my latest book, I've been struck by how much writing and running are alike. Take for instance, beginnings. In running, the first few miles are usually pretty hard; sweat pours off you, you wonder why you ever decided this would be a good idea, and your muscles hurt. Sounds like writing the first chapter in a book (at least for me)! And how you start off a run (or a book) will decide how it ends... and whether or not you (or your reader!) will finish. But once you push past that beginning, you're good to go...and ready to get down to serious business... like hills and speed work!
