I read something like Already Dead and wonder about the limits of my own imagination. Denis Johnson besides being deliciously poetic captures the interiors of multiple charaters without ever being duplicitive or cliche.
On the one hand it's inspirational. On the other, I look at my own writing and the complete life and death struggle that goes on just creating Scene, and I want to cry.
At least I'm enjoying a great read.

Warren, don't bring yourself down with negativity. Just write. I guarantee you Denis Johnson didn't get to where he is in a minute, an hour, a day, or a series of years. It took a lot of time and work.
