The main objective of this paper is to present the process of preparing and conducting my biographical research regarding creators’ middle-adulthood. My intention in this study is to direct attention towards such an approach to creators’ biographies that in the very process of biographical narrative reconstruction reveals not only the different viewpoints regarding life experiences, but also interpretation of events. First of all, my approach to biographical research did not focus on creators’ life stories, but allowed them to create different tales of their own lives and to show different aspects of their autobiographical experiences related to shaping their own lives. In this paper, I intend to discuss a methodological solution and by this, to show how my research methods developed during the preparation stage, but also during the stages of implementation and preparation of the concept of analysis. A particular challenge, which is the subject of this study, was the strategy that required some aspects of creativity in the process of data collecting. Within the frame of this strategy, the researcher prepared biographical tasks designed in consideration of the poosed research problems. The tasks took a form of diverse forms of activity (verbal, visual) and encouraged respondents to refer to their own life experiences (past), reflect on the present moment (present), consider plans and projects (future), as well as to inspire constructing different stories about life (Lasocińska, 2013; 2017). The result of that was a structure that divided a biographical interview into phases and stages that assume different uses of time periods and diverse biographical reflections. In the following text, I do not focus on the results of my research, which are still being formulated, but focus my attention on concepts and research experiences related to the search for adequate solutions for the chosen topic and to the initial assumptions of the research.

[Jim Squires] also has sharp words for the industry's worship of raw speed, a devotion he believes ruins too many young horses too soon. He takes this worthy opinion over the top with his attempt to cast Monarchos' battle against the \"Big Red Train\" Point Given as a replay of the ugly duckling Seabiscuit's epic 1937 match race against the elegant War Admiral. While it is true that Monarchos' trainer, Johnny Ward, trained his colt unconventionally to prepare him for the rigors of the Derby's mile-and-a-quarter distance, and that Ward suffered in comparison to Point Given's media-savvy trainer, the irrepressible Bob Baffert, the confrontation was not quite the Little Guy versus Big Guy duel Squires describes. Monarchos' owners, Debby and Jack Oxley, have spent millions in their search for a Derby winner. They are not underdogs of any sort. Ward, described by one wag in the book as unable to \"train a vine to go up a wall,\" has a harder row to hoe, as do all trainers when they face the full-to-overflowing, deep-pocket barns of trainers like Baffert and D. Wayne Lucas. The playing field is not level, but where in American sport is that still the case?
