My office walls are covered with autographs of famous writers - it's what my children call my 'dead author wall.' I have signatures from Mark Twain Earnest Hemingway Jack London Harriett Beecher Stowe Pearl Buck Charles Dickens Rudyard Kipling Alfred Lord Tennyson to name a few.
Even if you know that what you'll say will hurt a woman's feelings I've learned that it's better to be truthful with her than it is to cover up. Ultimate honesty is what a relationship is really about.
