I just posted a lengthy comment on the blog of my friend Deb Robson at Nomad Press. She was reviewing Eric Maisel's book The Van Gogh Blues about the relationship between creativity and depression.

As I said in the post, I loved and benefitted form Maisel's book The Art of the Book Proposal and hadn't known that he was a psychologist, which perhaps explains why that book was so helpful to me. And as I also said, Practically Shameless is my own story of depression stemming in part from creativity unexpressed.

Maisel is doing a blog tour with the new book (and I confess to being curious about why it was published by a small, independent publisher, when I would have thought with the number of successful books to his name, that he could have gone with one of the Bigs).

I don't know what a blog tour is, so I don't know if this entry helps Maisel visit another blog, but I hope it does, and I hope to get a look at The Van Gogh Blues sometime soon.
