Well, I’m finished with my long break. I had a great few months with my daughter, a bout of sickness, and a sidetrack that took me into a far better understanding of a dimension of story I was never completely clear on. Now I have better clarity. Actually, I would say I have The Clarity that I’ve been looking for.

Armed with my new clarity, I’m returning to War Dogs with a new focus and I know where this particular story needs to go. There’s a lot of story possibilities for this world. However, there’s no need to try to cram them into one book! So this books focus will be on the Dogs and their Handlers.

If you want to follow my mundane thought process as I work through this thing, I’ve set up a special twitter feed just to blab on about my process. http://www.twitter.com/shawnscarber

Additionally, I’ve given myself a hard deadline of November 11th to finish this book. I think the hard deadline will keep me from getting sidetracked. So if you don’t see a post between now and then that says I’ve finished the book, feel free to publicly harass and badger me, because I have no excuses now.
