Read the article I get this often enough when I am writing and have learned to put in a place holder word or phrase then move on not consciously thinking about that "missing word." Your mind will work it out in much less time on it's won with out you beating yourself up trying to remember it.

Keep trying, eventually you'll find the right one. Or die of old age; smiling.
