Editorials

As many of you know -- because I've relentlessly posted on social media and talk about it all the time -- my fifth book came out earlier this year.
This of course has made me tremendously famous and super rich with an out-of-control ego, something most of us dream about. [Note: Isn't it interesting that so many folks want to be rich, but also hate rich people?].
When people find out I'm a writer, they sometimes ask questions, such as "Have you written anything I would have heard of?"

I have noticed two specific similarities in recent conversations. Where is time going and why can't I get anything done?
Thinking back to slower paced times when we had to use a road map when driving to a new destination, we researched information using the card catalog at a library, and reading books rather than digital devices. Those days were not all that bad though everything took a little more effort.
Now we listen to our GPS guide us to our destination. I'm willing to bet many have to use GPS when returning to the same location.
