WRITING AND FORMULA 1

BooKs by cRaig loCk

My book has just been published

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B012JXDK8E

The link between my “twin passions: motor racing and writing”…  WHAT!!!

Rather incongruous (big word) , eh craig!

“There are only three sports: bullfighting, mountain climbing and motor racing; all the rest are merely games.”

– Ernest Hemingway

“We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.”

– Ernest Hemingway

“Driving fast is like playing great music, but you also need an instrument.”

 

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.”

 – Albert Einstein

From www.writencreate.wordpress.com

“Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”

Hi

CAN’T KEEP UP…BUT THANKS FOR THE “THANX”

MANY MORE COMMENTS OVERNIGHT .. together with hundreds of thousands already on my various other blogs at https://craigsblogs.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/craigs-list-of-blogs-updated-sept-2011/

…true!) …obsessive or WHAT! *So hope it’s not slowing down your loading speed!). Am really pleased you are enjoying my writings, as the reason I write is to share.

Though I’m rather “driven”, I still get really, really fatigued, so sorry can’t reply individually to all you good people scattered around the planet, but DO try to read as many as possible daily (and even moderate a few when I get a “mo”),  I got swamped with comments on my various blogs, so have had to close them off on all of my blogs, except for one or two of particular interest to me – sorry and hope you can understand..

If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”
