The date bars I made yesterday? Sucked.

I’m going to burn myself out on this kitchen but by then hopefully I’ll have enough food put up that it won’t matter.

I found four books on the topic I want my book to be about but from the Amazon reviews it looks like all four come from a totally different angle. One is out of print and not at my library but I put the other three on reserve. There’s a whole slew of somewhat related books, which leads me to believe that 1) my book idea is marketable; and 2) it won’t be hard to convince an agent or a publisher of that.

Right now I’m getting chapter ideas and trying not to get too focused on any one idea. I can feel myself kind of tipping into the territory of the other books, which is not a place I want to be. Finding them on Amazon helped convince me of that.

I’m going to need to interview some people for it — some experts, some not — and I also am trying to figure out how best to interview the non-experts. That’s preoccupying me a bit.
