The Joy of Writing Battles with the Need for Sleep

There is something quite nice about writing late at night when the house is quiet. There is such a temptation to write until dawn.

But while the family would understand my crazy desire, it is probably not prudent to risk altering my sleep schedule.

Since I have reached the halfway mark and am at a good transition point, I will be prudent and go to bed.

Oh, but how I miss the days when a few hours sleep would offset an all-nighter at the computer.

On Strategy

“Strategy does not allow a nation to walk through the garden of war and politics unscathed. Strategic planning informs a nation of what it can do and can endure once it’s been pricked. Through planning, a nation can learn what it can endure and the depths of their adversary. It’s not about the plan. It’s about the planning.”
