Book Update
It was a bad week and I got absolutely nothing accomplished with the book this week. I had a lot of stuff going on and got nothing written at all.
Hopefully today and tomorrow I can make a dent in the next chapter!

I got so busy, I only had time to do my pizza review this week. I didn’t do a Spiteful Stories because of time and the fact that I still haven’t gotten my back issues of fishwrap from my friend, Clare.
The pizza review was of a California Kitchen Cheese Pizza. I didn’t have high hopes for it and I’m glad I didn’t! Check out the review by clicking here or on the photo above.

Chapter Twelve: 1994: The First Two Issues, A Deafening Silence and A Possible Nightshift Job
Clare and I decided to wait until after Christmas and the New Year to distribute copies of fishwrap. We both came back to Peoria for Christmas and we met at the local Chili’s restaurant on Christmas Eve and talked about the first issue and how excited we both were to put it out and see what happens. I printed up enough pages for 125 issues and I brought Clare come copies for her to keep and give to some friends.
Clare did a great job on the layout and even though it was all type, she did a fantastic job with the headlines and pulling out quotes and phrases to where some of the type actually was art for the articles. Both of us were really happy about what we had done and we decided to wait until the middle of January to start sending them out to the magazines we had made fun of.
I returned to New York and my room in the Beacon Hotel on December 28th and by the new year, all the issues of the inaugural issues of fishwrap were folded, stapled and ready to be delivered and mailed out.
