Don't You Hate That Feeling?

I just remembered that I promised somebody I'd blog about a certain topic for them and I completely forgot who I promised and what I promised to write about! I think it's been a few weeks, too. How embarrassing. It has to do with spouses I think. And depression. Anybody have any ideas?

I haven't been able to get anything done for a whole week. One of the comments from last week's column was a terse reprimand by a woman (I assume) who urged me to not think so much and do instead.

It would be much cheaper than attending a writer's conference and, if I bought a book and had it signed, I might endear myself to the authors. You know, get them to open up to me. Share their secrets with me. Invite me over for dinner. Alas, all my clever plans were foiled. There I was, chatting up author James Dashner on Twitter , helpfully letting him know his countdown clock was wrong, and using my trademarked and incredibly clever repartee to show him that I was somebody he could not only share his secrets with but also could borrow his laptop. I told him I'd see him later tonight, then hurried off to get the girls from their high school. I had them all booked for babysitting. I would hit the launch party, graciously dec...
