Divide & Conquer:  A Statement We Desperately Need to Remember

Divide & Conquer: A Statement We Desperately Need to Remember

Divide and conquer is what an organized enemy does before going in for the win.  It’s perhaps time that “we” take note of what has been happening in our world.  We have been divided and we are being defeated at every turn.  “We” meaning all of us that are not on the elite pedestal of … Continue reading

Write Fearlessly!

Write Fearlessly!

A few years into my career as a fulltime freelance writer, I got a phone call from an editor. I had written several books for her in the past, and she liked my work. “Jim,” she said, “are you sitting down? I have a celebrity autobiography I want you to co-write, and you just won’t … Continue reading

There Was a Time
