Praise

"Its crossover appeal alone—existing as a book about both writing and running...—enlarges its potential audience and affords the author a chance to explore her own process, a chance I feel is pretty significant. She does a great job of it, too, at times overtly and other times almost subversively... It's material I can consult linearly or, more delightfully, in single scoops, and it fits in my pocket so I can carry it to a favourite reflection spot."

"In reading Margreet Dietz' book, I came away with three main themes. Exercises laid out like Dietz has done will absolutely help one in putting pen to paper and produce the beginnings of a work that one can expand upon after finishing the exercises. It will also help to start flexing that "writing muscle" on a daily basis. The secondary benefit of this, short, concise and hugely readable prose will be to tap into a very interesting, accomplished and inquisitive person's nature and see what one can do with their writing. Lastly, I walked away with an profound respect for this author's courage to just set aside what many would describe as the dream career, with all its prestige and excitement, to strike out on a completely new life as a writer. I highly recommend this book for both the beginning and struggling writer, as well as any person who is exploring the idea of a radical shift in the way they are currently living their life."

"I met the author at a bookstore in Canada last week and bought all three of her books--this compilation of exercises appealed to me because I'm working on a non-fiction manuscript and have hit a "block." The exercises she recommends are exactly what I need to jumpstart me back into the writing life. Her stories are personal, humorous and relevant to the process. I went back to the store to purchase a copy for my co-author, who is having similar issues getting focused. Highly recommended for all writers and would-be writers from someone who has been where we all are!"
