Swim I Can

More From Paula Radcliffe

He that can swim needs not despair to fly; to swim is to fly in a grosser fluid, and to fly is to swim in a subtler. we are only to proportion our power of resistance to the different density of matter through which we are to pass. you will be necessarily upborne by the air if you can renew any impulse upon it faster than the air can recede from the pressure.

For my father the one calamity was that my brother and sister and i never learned to swim. my father, who was very macho, was a strong swimmer and was terribly disappointed to have children who didn't swim. once when my mother was sitting in a beach chair - i can still see the big umbrella - she called to my father, "throw them in! throw them in! they'll swim!" so he did. then he looked down, and there were the three sendak children lying perfectly still underwater, not fighting for life!

Growing up in alaska, they don't really teach you to swim there. i learned to swim just a few summers ago with olympic gold medalist amanda beard. she did great, and right after that i went to get scuba certified. i had fun with it. i didn't really get scared, but some people thought that was a risk.

A writer's life is so hazardous that anything he does is bad for him. anything that happens to him is bad: failure's bad, success is bad; impoverishment is bad, money is very, very bad. nothing good can happen... except the act of writing.

Once i got over the fear of writing female characters, it actually came quite easily and i was really happy with it. i just thought about girls i knew really, really well and i'd just have conversations with them and tried to relay how they talk about certain things.
