I’ve been writing a mystery for 7 months. 1/2 the time I wonder if I'll ever finish it. The other 1/2 I wonder if I'm just an old fool who's kidding himself if he thinks a publisher will want it.

The oven mitts we have aren't very effective when reaching into a 500-degree oven. After burning some hair off my forearms a few times, I found the solution: welders gloves. And now I can weld custom exhausts onto my Subaru (Not!). #homemadepizza
Next project: A state by state map of the US made out of pizzas. With a little trimming I think this could be Montana. Granted, Michigan will be a problem, but perhaps a two-pie solution will work. And not sure what to do about Hawaii. #pizzafail
With practice and patience I found that my ability to make a round pizza grew worse. I called this mushroom and onion pie Pollock's Big Pig. #pizzafail #jacksonpollock #abstractpizza
I was raving to a group today about Demon Copperhead and someone asked how long it was. When I said, "560 pages," they groaned and said it was too long. Okay, so think of it as your next two 280-page books. #greatbooks #demoncopperhead @barbarakingsolver
The saving grace of pizza is that no matter how badly you mess up the preparation, after 11 minutes in the oven at 500 degrees, it still tastes pretty good. I call this one Pimples. #pizzafail
Got a pizza stone and watched Youtube videos on how to stretch out the dough with your hands. It's all BS. Pizza dough does not want to stretch. It does not want to be round. It wants to shrink back into it's original form. I call my first attempt The Snowshoe. #pizzafail #pizza

I just finished reading “Give a boy a gun”. Something I really like about this book was the intensity I felt while reading the book. I also liked how it had dates of other mass shooting while the book was being written at the end. I give this book a 10/10.
