AWKWARD: Because Perfection is Boring: I pitched these today. They all made my co-workers cry. Back to the drawing board...

  1. I pitched these today. They all made my co-workers cry. Back to the drawing board…

    1. A story about suicidal kids who threaten to jump in front of cars at the age of 8  (read about this in The Times)

    2. A weight-loss story about this guy I talked to who lost 60 pounds for his wife—only to be served divorce papers 6 weeks later (“She was losing weight for someone else. I was losing weight for only her,” he says.)

    3. A story about limerence (Addicted to love: When affection turns into an affliction…)

    If only I worked for a publication that had a depression beat. I’d be all over that like peanut butter on toast…
