The metaphor of a road to success is a good one. There is a road to being a successful writer, or teacher, or entrepreneur, or executive, or parent. The road to finishing this task or that project.

And how do you travel any road? You travel a road in steps. A certain number of miles or hours per day. No matter how you feel.

I’m at a tricky part in the latest book and the resistance to sitting down to write is high. I do it anyway even if I only scratch out a few words. I might not get a lot closer, but I get a little closer. And a little adds up over time.

Here are 3 crime fiction links, 2 quotes, and 1 question for this week:

Quotes from Mann’s Heat this week:

  • “I Do What I Do Best; I Take Scores. You Do What You Do Best; Try To Stop Guys Like Me.”
  • “Brother, You Are Going Down.”

1 QUESTION

  • What is your favorite heist film? I might make a distinction between gritty and fun here. I love Logan Lucky and Ocean’s Eleven style heist films. On the grittier side, Heat and Reservoir Dogs would be high on my list.

Until next Thursday, happy reading,
