Author’s program note. Men, it’s time for your annual Valentine’s Day update and reminder. For, as you will recall, Valentine’s Day (along with her dog Pookie’s birthday) is the most important event of her year. If you get it right (or as right as any man can get this minefield) you’re in like Flynn for another year; your right to nookie safe and secure for another 365 glorious days.
But…
if you muff this, like you did last year and the year before that, you are in for another prolonged rough patch… and you know very well how rough that will be. To avoid this fate worse than death, extreme measures are required, and these extreme measures must be taken NOW! Men, have I got your full attention? Your Love Doctor is here for you… and OMG, you know you need it.
The Facts.
As we have discussed in prior years (and many of you have attended this critical training year after year, with, sad to say, spotty results) Valentine’s Day is a world-wide conspiracy. It first began as the brainchild of a highly paid consultant who was charged with the task of selling a particularly noxious chocolate with a vile, disgusting taste… That didn’t bother the consultant at all; it was the kind of challenge he lived for.
Even the fact that the chocolatier couldn’t pay him even a token amount up front didn’t bother our fearless consultant one iota. He still inked a contract that said he’d receive 25% of the gross on all new business stimulated by his best ideas. In other words, he would (in the best macho consultant tradition) forgo certain (albeit lower) payment in return for a whopping share of the gross… and so long as he could move the obnoxious chocolate that everybody loathed…. he’d be a big winner.
Frankly, the folks at the chocolate company (who pretty much loathed their product, too, and banned it from the company candy machine) thought they’d made the perfect deal. After all, they got the consultant to work for them for free… and gave away revenues that didn’t exist, would probably never exist. But before claiming a huge write-off and throwing the offending chocs in the garbage, they needed — so their accountant said — to gve it the Good Ol’ College Try.
His name was Valentine…
Now our audacious consultant sat down to business, and because he was a very clever fellow, the ideas flowed fast and furious. Thus after just a few days, the consultant was ready to see the CEO and present the all-important concept. As it turned out not only was this meeting important for the chocolate company; it was a crucial turning point in the relations of all men with their women… it thereby launched a movement creating millions of jobs and huge corporate profits worldwide.
The consultant’s name was Valentinos Kariotes… known as Val… and he is the man who set the high standards for Valentine’s Day…
Yes, it is because of this single man and his insight that the conjugal rights and ecstasies of millions of hapless guys are put at risk every single friggin’ year, to be reaffirmed by shelling out for chocolate, making ever richer the corporate smarty pants who dreamed up this baby.
Down to business.
Val, a straight talking, no nonsense, “let’s stick to business” kind of guy got right to the point. To sell the chocs everyone acknowledged as disgusting, they’d have to have a bigger idea, something huge, clever, larger than life…. here Val paused…. because he knew that his next words would not only sell chocolates nobody could abide, but get men by the millions to line up in front of the company’s packed stores to plunk down big bucks for a product they despised.
Before stating what would become his abiding claim to fame, Val paused, looked around the room, the better to get their attention and keep the memory of this supreme moment forever green in his mind. Then he said
“To sell chocolates you must get women to tell men that the purchase of these chocolates and the size of the box will be construed by every gal on earth as an indication of how ardently they are desired, loved, and wanted. In short, the target for their advertising campaign would not be the men who would actually buy the chocolates… but the women who would ‘motivate’ them to do so, in EVERY way at their command. Yes, in EVERY way.”
Val then unveiled his first ad, a classic soon destined for the Advertising Hall of Fame. It went like this:
“The size of the box”, it read, “indicates how much he loves you.”
The image showed two boxes of chocolate. The five-pound box had a big black X through it. The 20-pound box was circled in a bright, bright red heart with exclamation point.
Just awesome!
Val’s incredible idea at last gave women what they have always wanted, for thousands of years: a way to know, to measure, even weigh just how much their menfolk REALLY love them; the proof to be as easy to acquire as the simple purchase of chocolates.
“Brilliant” was the least of it.
In the lives of each of us, there come but a handful of moments of transcendence, moments of destiny, moments you are surpassingly glad to be alive. Our man Val knew such a moment this day… and as the astonished executives surged around him with their most ardent congratulations, they knew it, too. And immediately increased the box size and weight of their obnoxious product… for they knew at once that Val, their boy, was a genius. And so unanimously voted to create a day named for him — St. Valentine’s Day — a day worth billions to love capitalists worldwide. It was the least they could do
And so Val got filthy rich.
Every time a woman got a two-pound box of chocs from her beloved, she knew that the donor was dead meat, a cheap, two-timin’ low-life… who had then to go out and at once to get the 20 pound box… thereby passing the loved test… and making Val richer and richer still. Eureka!
Of course, other companies watched this phenomenon, this cornucopia of riches with the closest conceivable attention; Val ensured they did, for in due course, he made sweet deals with florists, pastry companies, every diamond purveyor in the land… always with the same awesome results.
Which is why you’ll live today like a cat on a hot tin roof, spending good money you don’t have to appease the little woman who controls your life. Be sure, too, to sing “My Funny Valentine” the right way, the feminist way, with the words about you, not her, for women have always hated this tune and its cock-eyed sentiment.
Thus, “my looks are laughable, unphotographable….” because that’s what she wants you to say, just after she’s looked at the size of the box.
(You’ll find the inimitable “My Funny Valentine”, released 1940, in any search engine; music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Lorenz Hart. I prefer the original version — and the original words — by Frank Sinatra.)
http://jeffreylantarticles.com/life/no-valentines-today-what-did-you-do-to-deserve-them-two-penguins-have-some-advice-for-you-and-so-do-i/
Today, February 14, 2011, is Valentine’s Day. Millions of
people worldwide will participate in this essential rite
of love which usually involves men standing in lines for hours
at expensive candy shops and florists with overburdened,
surly help… then trekking their purchases home, very self-
consciously, with more hope than expectation that She Who
Must Be Obeyed will be, for an instant, completely satisfied with him.
Millions of people today will get some such token of affection,
usually of the hackneyed chocolate or red rose variety. But
the sad fact is, millions more will get no affectionate sentiment
or token of any kind today… and they will deserve the slight.
To deal with this irritating, indeed humiliating situation, of
the “what a revolting development this is” variety, I have
called upon two love birds of my acquaintance, Penguins Ishaboe
and Spheniscus, inhabitants at the New England Aquarium, Boston,
Massachusetts. They know a thing or two on the subject of
love and affection… and being helpful critters they are happy to
share what they know…
Ishaboe (male) and Spheniscus (female) are a mating pair of
African penguins, a bird so rare that it may well become extinct
in the next 15 years. Concerned researchers at institutions
worldwide are engaged in a strenuous effort to save the
breed while they still can. This means taking an obsessive
interest in their amatory habits. What they’ve learned is instructive…
not just for the penguins but for their love-challenged human keepers as well.
First of all, they like each other… and they’re never afraid to show
it, even with hundreds of prying eyes looking at them.
Ol’ Blue Eyes, crooning Sinatra, the chairman of the board, knew
just how exciting Total Focus on your love interest can be:
Are the stars out tonight? I don’t know if it’s cloudy or bright. ‘Cause
I only have eyes for you, dear. (Release date 1949).
Or, if you prefer a more insistent beat, try this punchy line from
the Miracles…
I’m just a love machine… and I won’t work for nobody but
YOU! (Released 1975.)
These smart penguins practice what they preach. Why just
the other day, marooned together on their high-class desert
island (scrubbed clean every single day), splashing care-free
in the 150,000 gallons of Boston Harbor water, constantly
filtered, they literally couldn’t take their eyes off each other… and
didn’t. Even experienced researchers, used to penguin fidelity,
found this total attention worthy of note.
When was the last time, you gave your love interest your
total, unqualified focus? Stumped? Can’t remember? That’s
where your problems begin… and it doesn’t matter how old
you are, either.
Why, in my Harvard Square neighborhood in Cambridge, Massachusetts
the students at the World’s Greatest University think nothing of
holding hands with Love Interest #1, while furiously text messaging
Love Interest #2. Thus they always have a back-up when their
togetherness shreds, a thing they anticipate, expect, and plan
for. And some dare call this love!
So, Rule #1 to make this day special… don’t just give a
card with printed sentiments written for the poetically
destitute. Don’t merely plunk down a few bucks for a box of Fannie May or
Whitman’s quaint Sampler and think it’s “good enough”. As that wag Sir
Percy Blakeney, baronet, said in “The Scarlet Pimpernel” (published 1905)
“There is nothing that is quite so bad as that which is good enough.”
Exactly.
You selected your would-be Valentine for a reason. Recall
that reason now…
Then move out of the dull and dreary to the new, energized,
alluring you, the fountainhead of dreams, seductions, shared pleasures.
Instead of the unexciting red rose, lay down a trail of rose petals that
lead to a pulsating, provocative……… YOU!
Or do a Hansel and Gretel number (from the story by the Brothers Grimm
published 1812). Lay down one tell-tale chocolate after another, until X
marks the spot where your one and only finds…..YOU and nothing but you,
exciting, uninhibited, memorable….
If you’ve let your relationship grow stale, shame on you
when just a little such inventiveness is required to revivify and
re-ignite.
Our penguin pair knows this. When one is away for a moment,
they tenderly call a la Jeanette McDonald. Upon returning, they
bow to each other, polite, thrilled to be rejoined. To make clear their
interest, they preen, they posture, they give food to demonstrate
affection… they are assiduous, inventive, playful… and
from their unceasing inventiveness comes a helluva good time;
they enjoy seeing how they can top their own creative efforts and show
the profound affection they so obviously feel for each other.
Our penguin pair knows, too, that the secret of this day is the line
from “My Funny Valentine” (from the musical “Babes in Arms,” Rodgers
and Hart, 1937.)
Each day is Valentine’s Day.
Here the penguins excel. Today they will act towards each other,
the way they act every day. They will neither note nor care that this
is a day dedicated to the arts of love. Should someone say so, they
would laugh, wondering why any creature, any place limit to a
single day the fond sentiments and delights which are best given
every day, in all places. They will then go back to their tried and
true ways of love, oblivious to you and me.
It is more than sad that such creatures are imperiled, the victims
of over fishing and changes in ocean currents which remove the
penguins from their foods. Catastrophe looms as their once vast
numbers plummet. If these are, indeed, their last days (though
human friends are helping), they mean to go out as they have lived
these generations past, engrossed in each other, loving as if
there was no tomorrow. And so should we all.

Author’s program note. She was the best of wives and the best of mothers. She was such a Yiddishe momme right out of Sophie Tucker, we used to laugh about it. She was the life support for a feckless husband born into cozy wealth who discovered at mid-life that he wanted to be a mime (no, I am not making this up) and left her to explain as best she could to her inquisitive Brookline neighbors that Joel had selected grease paint, vacant stare, and rigid immobility in preference to her and the 3 kids.
She was on the cutting edge of every progressive issue, as every good Jewish mother is. And this meant the whole feminist shtick, especially gender equality. She was also a card-carrying member of the “Thatsa my boy” club in which the beloved elder son accepts for a pampered lifetime not just praise but sacred veneration and constant service. And that’s why I’m starting my story here, the place you discover just how very splendored love can really be.
The first part takes place the year Ruth and Joel finally hit the divorce courts in the most amiable of actions. She was down but most assuredly not out and wanted to show her nosey friends and relations that she still had what it takes; that she’d had it with clowns of any age or shape, and that she’d snagged herself a wow of a man for her big come-back, one impressive dude, a Harvard man, someone cute and brainy, a goy of a boy, and what a kisser.
Using these enticing features and a slew of others made up to enhance the brew soon had her BBF Marie salivating, a Wagnerian sized shrew who hadn’t a single feminine attribute or charm of any kind, but made up for these unfortunate lapses by being really REALLY rich. Marie, interested, became Marie, nagging. When could she meet this prodigy who put her own male lapdog in the shade? And the sooner, the better… “So, stop with the excuses, already”. It was put-up or shut up. How about a Valentine’s Day dinner for 4 at the Cafe Budapest in Boston? There would be their famous cherry soup, tokay and Gypsy violinists, all on Marie of course. As I told you, she was REALLY rich.
“Jeffrey, I have a BIG favor to ask you.”
The white stretch limousine was ontime to the minute, 7:30 p.m. All the characters were present. Marie was over dressed in what she called a Hungarian hussar costume; a tight fitting blue bodice with miles of gold thread and epaulettes that would have made a minor Habsburg archduke proud. I didn’t know whether to laugh or salute… so I muttered the usual “glad to meet yous” and scrunched down to get in the Guido-mobile. But where was Marie’s ’til death do us part?
Marie later told me she thought it would be “fun” if she dressed him as a Viennese coachman, circa 1880. No symbolism here, of course. He looked ridiculous, of course. Maybe that was Marie’s intention. If so, she got her wish. His uniform was clearly two or three sizes too big for him. His top hat fell over his eyes… and his boots, while polished, were like flip-flops. I saluted him and tried to limit my smile to the appropriate length Emily Post recommended when you meet hubby the lap dog. I made it just a bit bigger because I felt sorry for the schlemiel. After all, he looked like Marie’s lunch.
Ruth looked… well, I was bowled over. She was cute as a bug in a rug with a (was it?) mink collar. “Ruthie,” Marie said,”you look…” and then she said it again as if she didn’t quite believe what she was seeing “Henny, doesn’t Ruthie look…” As her eyes took in every feature of my winsome self, you could see she was licking her lips, thinking Mazel tov… Mazel tov! And as if to answer Marie and establish ownership, my friend Ruth planted a kiss on me that was a lollapalooza of the genre, the real deal. I never saw it coming.
Okay, I looked terrific that evening. For a guy as disinterested in clothes as I was, (except for the blue cape with red silk lining I got on Carnaby Street in London), I could look like the well turned out gentleman my mother always demanded. I was wearing black tie evening dress, the duds cut by Oxford University’s comme il faut tailor.
I was washed, brushed, combed, ironed, buttoned, zipped, bow-tied, with a smile nicely calibrated to be just proper enough to meet her friends and just wicked enough that she’d want to dump them as soon as possible. Rarely has any friend done so much to achieve the desired result. As I was complimenting myself, extolling my finesse and magnanimity Ruthie snuggled up as if there was no tomorrow. As for Marie, she never took her eyes off Ruth, which meant she never took her eyes off me. There was certainly a lot to look at…
“Madam, I understand today is a very special day. These flowers have just arrived for you.”
With that the waiter handed over the biggest, most entrancing bouquet I had ever seen. And I got a real smacker as thanks. My initial was on the card… along with that fatal word “love.” Only problem is, I didn’t send them. I could guess of course, but I couldn’t ask. The sender counted on my discretion, on not blurting anything out but playing my part in the play with consummate skill… and I did.
Ruth got up and hoisted a piece of exquisite crystal which featured the double-headed imperial eagle. The sommelier, standing by, filled it with the finest tokay, and then filled the other three glasses, too.
She never looked more beautiful, more determined, more certain of what she must say or how she would say it. The game had suddenly become very serious indeed. And every diner in the Cafe Budapest that memorable evening, immersed as they were in their own rituals of love, knew it.
Ruth, a practised thespian of so many years, had what every actor wants… a dedicated and sympathetic audience, in rapt attention, waiting expectantly for whatever she might say or do. She took her knife and hit her glass three times in prescribed fashion… then she turned and looked at me… her song beginning.
” I am one of those the world looked down on. I’m not what they think I ought to be. Love has made me do things people frown on. But love is life and everything to me.”
She was singing to me. Her hands stroked my hair. Her eyes locked on mine. Her look was plaintive. She wanted me to know her, love her. She needed me to know that love wasn’t just an important thing…. it was the only thing.
She breathed, she loved. She laughed, she loved. She cried, she loved. It was who she was… what she did. There was no beginning to it… no end. She was the Biblical Ruth of old… whither thou goest, I goeth.
Every person in the restaurant knew he was hearing searing honesty… total integrity. There was no art… no artifice… nothing but one woman and the man she had selected, giving everything, hoping for everything, too proud to ask for anything.
Then the song was over, its last words hanging in the air,
” If the after years bring me tears, it’s all right, I’m satisfied. I’ve broken man made laws, but heaven will forgive me because I’m doing what I’m doing for love.”
I wanted to say something, but everything that needed to be said had been said. She knew. And so before I opened my mouth, she touched my lips and whispered “Thanks for tonight. Thanks for everything.” I should have gone down on one knee and said them to her…
Envoi.
Sophie Tucker (1886-1966) was known for her brassy, over-the-top style.. Where men were concerned her tastes were insistent and voracious, entirely appropriate for the “Last of the Red Hot Mammas.” But in 1929 she showed the world a very different, tender, beseeching side. The song was “I’m Doing What I’m Doing For Love”, and it was that song that was sung for me that evening that is one of a handful of perfect occasions of my eventful life. 67 this year, I haven’t married. Go now to any search engine and play this tune and remember your perfect moment and what you did for love… or might still do.

Introduction
“It’s In His Kiss.”
How To Survive Valentine’s Day and Avoid Your
Fair Lady Telling You “You’re No Good”!
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and the way you’re going, you can
expect a pink slip at the end of the day… and not the titillating one at Victoria’s
Secret either.
Fortunately you’re lucky enough to have a friend like me, somebody who knows
the ropes and is willing to share techniques that work. I’m here to help you, buddy,
so long as you are willing to do your homework and be meticulous in your planning.
Now before digging in, I want you to read a story of one of my best love students.
His name is Bill, and it looks amazingly like this year he’ll be sitting out the big day
all by himself… all because he didn’t think everything through, practice morning,
noon, and night, listening carefully to me. Pay close attention. This could be YOU!
In other words he assumed he knew everything… a Big Shot… the man who thought
mastering the “Cliff Notes” would deliver what the French call “the last favors”. And
because he was so confident of victory, he arranged for a camera and Internet hook-up.
He wanted to show off, to make it clear to the world and all his colleagues and pals just
how good he was. And mostly that meant preening for me, because there’s nothing quite
so satisfying as showing that you, so young, too, know more than your prof and advisor.
I begged him, implored, go slow and easy. Don Juans, after all, aren’t turned out in a day,
Billy Boy. But Billy Boy knew better; telling me off in no uncertain terms. He knew
better alright…
And for a while as we watched in rapt fascination he sailed ahead; the right clothes, the
right flowers, the right degree of cosmopolitan finesse, the perfect wine, just enough
to enhance his libido and her desire. He was good. Damn good…. then it happened…
He had Cathy in his arms, the lights were dimmed, the sublime mood enhanced by
“Misty”, (released 1959), the ultimate seduction tune that made Johnny Mathis Love
Apollo.
Both Cathy and Bill knew they were going to take it higher. He leaned over, smooth
as silk, ready to claim the gold metal, a gentleman no longer.
“I love you, Margie….” and the whole crowd gasped. I bet you’re gasping too.
I don’t have to tell you what happened next. It was a hullabaloo of historic dimensions,
instantly viral on the unforgiving ‘net which ensured that this Kodak moment would be
preserved forever.
Because I am a nice guy I gave him a dollop of sympathy, but only that. He didn’t deserve
any more, and I only offered some to rub salt in this massive blow to his much diminished
ego “I told you so” never felt better.
He should have listened to Betty Everett and the Shoop Shoop Song. (released 1964).
“If you want to know if he loves you so
It’s in his kiss.”
Friend Billy learned this the hard way.
All YOU have to do is read this book with the utmost care and consideration, or
you’ll find yourself in the soup and quite probably humiliated by the feminist wrath
of Betty Everett (1939-2001), singing these acid lyrics from “You’re No Good” just
for you. And you won’t like that one little bit..
“I’m telling you now baby, that I’m goin’ my way
Forget about me baby, ’cause I’m leaving this day
You’re no good, you’re no good, you’re no good.”
Act now to avoid this sad amatory epitaph. Otherwise you’ll certainly deserve it.

This is an extraordinary online writer’s course of exquisite quality. Not just on writing but communicating, how to use words to move people, motivate, broaden horizons, build bridges and bring people together.
It’s through writing and writer’s words that this can happen.
That is what this course is all about!
You may think you can get this course elsewhere but you are Wrong, Wrong Wrong!
You will be studying with Dr. Jeffrey Lant. One of the top writers of the world.
A man who has published more words than Shakespeare,
A man who moves people worldwide!
Dr. Lant will show you exactly how you too can achieve this objective. Something the average writer doesn’t even know about.
There is also a special emphasis on writing family stories that make your beloved live again and soar.
For the last over 60 years Dr. Lant have been writing stories about his family, including his grandparents, his father, his mother, his two siblings and his only niece and nephew. He has written biographies, autobiographies, memoirs, commentaries and recollections focusing on relatives, friends, neighbors, employers, co-workers, room mates, teachers, pastors, coaches, and more. And let’s be clear, he didn’t forget pets either! Stories like that of his pet Peking Duck, George Quacker, who used to fly to greet him and retail all the news upon the arrival home from school.
In his stories they all live, and live forever. He has now written hundreds of stories about these people. The repertoire includes stories that make you cry and stories that make you split your trousers laughing, because, you see, it’s all part of what makes you and every member of your extended family tick.
Hardly a day goes by that folks from all over the world don’t come and ask Dr. Lant“How can I write like you write? How can I keep the people I love alive, like you do?”.
Learn the art of writing with Dr. Jeffrey Lant in what will become the most important class you ever take and the most lucrative.
“No man but a block head ever wrote, except for money.” Boswell: Life of Samuel Johnson
Let me be very clear with you on Dr. Lant’s point of view. He didn’t just write, no matter how satisfying, he also wrote for money. In fact, during his prolonged writing career, he has made millions of dollars scribbling! Yes, Millions!
And here’s the best thing of all. He did it without compromising his exacting standards.
He wrote what needed to be said… and he did so with integrity
Now Dr. Lant is ready to spill the beans sharing with you experiences, tactics, stratagems, secrets and insights it has taken him a full, rich and productive lifetime to accumulate.
He is going to tell you precisely what you need to write, to create the kind of meaningful, elegant and memorable prose you desire.
Now this will not take a few hours, days or weeks.
To become a master means working like a master.There are techniques to be learned and the ongoing editing and rewriting that will turn the merely pedestrian into the memorable, the grand, and the glorious.
YOU are capable of this, but only if you’re willing to rise above poor work habits and accepting the mediocre.
What I outlined here are the enemies, we can all fight them, but we must focus here, now and forever, uprooting that which is merely “good enough.” Only the good, the true, the honest are good enough.
It is Dr. Lant’s pleasure to assist your achievement of them.

WORKING WITH DR. LANT – An honest look at a unique force of nature.
by Patrice Porter, Manager, www.writerssecrets.com
The first thing you need to know is that each and every one of
these words is apt, true, and honest.
Perfectionist, tenacious, lovable, affectionate (but don’t tell him you
know it), rude, occasionally “blue” but always by choice, never random.
“A gentleman,” he says , “is only vulgar by design, to make his point.”
He’s awesomely smart (remember those two Harvard degrees).
He cries easily and is quick to hug, though he claims that skill came
from his programs nationwide, where he hugged hundreds in a day;
definitely not the product of is Illinois Methodist background.
He “cares”, though he winces when people say so, and they frequently
do. He says everybody cares about something so there is no
special merit in that, but this is a conceit which masks his profound
belief that we are all creeping closer minute by minute to the end of
our tattered Earth… and that we must all care more, do more, give
more.
In short we all should be in constant yellow alert. He certainly is, and
his often cynical admonitions and observations are a form of love…
loving Iin his very practical way.
More descriptive words
Pushy, obnoxious, over confident, cocksure, dramatic, melodramatic,
frugal, extravagant, thinks others can do what he can, when they most
assuredly cannot. Hard hitting, hard laughing, hardworking, quaffing
the hearty elixir that is life, and sharing its secrets with like-minded
people worldwide..
He is a good friend, a harsh, lingering adversary, cherubic, Machiavellian,
shrewd, wicked clever, generous to a fault, careless about money,
because he knows money, man-made – is the easiest thing in the world to
get, when you know how!
Thus, focused the while, for over 60 years in thousands of articles and media
programs, he has provided precise counsel on getting ahead and living better,
the loadstar of his life, on the air, and off. He is incapable of writing nothing
but airy platitudes; he always has a goal in his pen. And he writes to achieve
it.
More details and descriptions.
He demands the best of himself, maintaining standards at once awesome
and daunting. He demands the best of you; toward this end he works, works
more, works until he gets it right. Then he lavishes praise all round, on anyone
who has aided the endeavor.
He never forgets the “little people”. They confer the stature that makes
leaders, and always looks in their eyes where truth resides. They need his
faith and strength; he remembers each day how to sustain and maintain them…
and gives them with a lavish hands and heart-felt gratitude.
He writes eloquently, speaks movingly, and as one astonished visitor
proclaimed as if he had made a discovery no one ever noted before, “He
treats everyone the same, sovereign or serf.” When told of this remark,
he said it was the nicest compliment he had ever received. I told him it was
not a compliment at all, just the plain, unvarnished truth, the better for all that,
accepting the encomium with gratitude..
For the duration.
Now it’s time to meet Dr. Jeffrey Ladd Lant, that ebullient life force. Before
you go to www.writerssecrets.co I have my own special secret to impart.
Search online for John Williams’ soaring masterpiece, the score for
“E.T.”, particularly the chase and farewell scenes. Play it now and listen
as I have seen him listen in his opulent office, The Blue Room.
Each note summons a tear and the tears soon fall pure and cleansing,
as he listens to Williams’ theme for ordinary heroes in their extraordinary
adventure. The Blue Room is immediately redolent of valor and courage;
comradeship and unselfish love. I am privileged to be a part of his
great crusade, nothing less than universal improvement at stake.
Join him, join us now. It may well be the most exalted and exciting thing
you ever do, the very making of your life.

3 THOUGHTS ON “DISCOVER WRITERS SECRETS WITH INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED BEST-SELLING AUTHOR DR. JEFFREY LANT”

“Mere words cannot express…” until you have the privilege of being guided by The Master of His Art. Indeed, an honor, and a treat.

Graham Commander on November 25, 2015 at 11:24 am said:Edit
Many people on the internet found Dr Lant to be harsh and insulting, however using this approach is his way of getting people to take action, by shocking them if need be, and refusing to accept they have no money which he views as the flimsiest of excuses
His brash offhanded approach is only a small part of this complex genius, who not only accepts nothing but the highest of standards from himself, but also demands the same from you; but he also has the knack of bringing the best out of you, even though you didn’t know it was there
It is only when you acquire the honour and privilege of working alongside him that you begin to see the depth of his character, his passion, and his devoted obsession with past historical figures
Not with mere facts that can be found within dusty history book, rather he searching into their personal lives and writes in such a way as to re-kindle the long gone flame of life
Allowing each person from the past to live again through his passionate writing, be it for a fleeting moment, and also allowing them to live on for ever within his articles and his books
