Dear Source for Crappy Newsletter Story,

Thanks for putting your bestselling books and your mentions on famous blogs and in the NY times on your web bio making me feel totally inadequate and paralyzed when I’m about to phone you for an interview about a week later than I said I would, forcing me to read dearlifeblog for 30 minutes until it’s way too late in the day to call.

Now do I tender a second oh-so-casual email asking if you’re still around, or call tomorrow and apologize for doing so a bit late, or just call tomorrow acting all perky like it’s not a bit late at all?

REALLY earning my $1 a word,
K
