What do Navajo Fry Bread and Writing Have in Common?
Navajo Fry Bread.  A simple staple on the rez.  Looks so easy….

 There is a real knack to this:  round it over your fist, stretch it, knead it, flatten it, make it round.  Apparently I have not mastered the technique.   This one ended up on the ground.

I didn’t 
 have a grandma to teach me the tricks…there are always tricks of the trade. There are always tricks of the craft or skill…think Navajo weaving(see previous blog).      
I don’t think she is amused….
This one is mine…a little misshapen.
But we have plenty to go around…
The proof is in the pudding…with a little salt or sugar sprinkled on top.
Never as easy as it looks…think writing.  How many times have you said (have I said), “I could write a book like that” ?   Like anything else worth doing…it takes practice.
