Starting Lines
RUNNING COMMENTARY 696Years ago I drafted a sketchy memoir book, posted it briefly on this website, then withdrew it soon afterward but never forgot it. Now it resurfaces, much enhanced, as a memoir-in-progress titled Starting Lines (and subtitled: Early Efforts of a Writing Runner -- and Where They Led).
I'll post occasional chapters here for two reasons: to keep myself on-task with this project, and because you might be the only readers who ever see this material. Getting books published on paper is a tough game with few winners, but those odds don't stop a writer from writing -- and hoping to be read.
Chapters will be removed from the Running Commentary archive shortly after they are posted here. Instead they'll appear together in the "New Books" section, http://joehenderson.com/startinglines]
