This will help you get back on track, and there will be time enough to edit the rough parts. The story is in there dying to come out! Long walks are also good for me when the next plot point isn't coming. Make the walk (or run) long enough that your monkey mind quiets down before you start to think about the next step...And most important of all in my view, finish your project! Gain the experience of the entire process from inception to final edits. If it doesn't measure up, put it in a desk drawer and move on! (less)

Cal returns to his roots in L.A. and discovers that all is not as it seemed when he left 15 years earlier following the suicide of his wife. So far the book is practically writing itself! I love it when that happens...(less)

Warren’s Quotes

“How wonderful it would be if everything could always be as clear and simple as it used to be when you were twelve years old, or twenty years old. If there really were only two colors in the world: black and white. But even the most honest and ingenuous cop, raised on the resounding ideal of the stars and stripes, has to understand sooner or later that there's more than just Darkness and Light out on the streets. There are understandings, concessions, agreements. Informers, traps, provocations. Sooner or later the time comes when you have to betray your own side, plant bags of heroin in pockets, and beat people on the kidneys—carefully, so there are no marks.”
― Sergei Lukyanenko, Night Watch
