The Running Diaries - Part I

Hi there friends,

So I wrote a book! I've been playing around with this fictional story idea for a while and, although I suppose it's still a work in progress, I finally got it to a point where I'm ready to share it with people and get some thoughts.

The story is about 130 pages long so it's a legit read. And yes, because it's me, there is a strong running component to it. The book centers around a set of high school runners (shocker) facing your classic high school problems: friends, family, struggles, success. There are three different story lines involved that cross paths at the books end which was a fun way to write things.

I'm obviously fascinated by running, but I'm more interested in story telling than anything else. I would say this a book about runners more than a book about running. There's running involved (you have to write about what you know), but the real drama revolves around the kids individual journeys to figure out who they are.

Hopefully these story lines are universal enough to be relatable for the non-hard core runners (99% of the population) that find me interesting enough to click the link and check it out.

If you do take time from your busy lives to give it a read, I'd appreciate any feedback (positive or negative; the negatives ones help me improve more, but the positive ones admittedly make me feel better about myself). You can shoot me an email at jarrettfelix1130@gmail.com with your thoughts.

So that's my speech. If I've convinced you to give The Running Diaries a shot, check out the link below. Oh, and let me know if you have trouble access it.
