Publisher's Synopsis
WRITING AND FORMULA! by craig lock The link between my "twin passions: motor racing and writing"... WHAT!!! Rather incongruous (big word), eh craig! from my Wordpress blog at https: //writingandformula1.wordpress.com "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 from http: //www.hemingwaythoughts.wordpress.com "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 "Writers, like racing drivers, challenge themselves and their readers in new ways. They find new niches 'writing on the edge'. I want to continually test my own writing 'limits', the 'boundaries of my imagination'." "Time after time we are forced to wonder why one great talent succeeds... and another still greater talent falls short? The reason is not mere "the will to win". Rather it is the will to be tested at the very highest level. It is the ability to not only dwell on the far edge of sporting possibility, but to hold one's balance... and to relish the proximity of the void." -fine writing in The Times, London from http: //formula1mind.wordpress.com/ and www.craigsquotes.wordpress.com Writing in the Zone (All that I Know about Writing) Kindle version) from http: //raceinthezone.wordpress.com/ "Talent develops in tranquillity, character in the full current of human life." - Johann Wofgang von Goethe, German playright and philosopher "Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus." -anon "I want to write the way Australian Super-car driver, Craig Lowndes drives and power-slides his powerful V8 Holden Super-car... with wild enthusiasm and a sense of abandonment, yet combined with the artists craft and smooth style of a Jamie Whincup (craig's team-mate), a Stirling Moss, a Jim Clark, and especially that of the great Ayrton Senna, living on the razor-blade edge of life." (thanks Craig and Jamie, for the great pleasure you give me watching "you guys" race here "across the ditch" on TV) "a petrol-head (and definitely not an "arty-farty airey-fairey type") writer"
