So for the past nearly 4 years, I’ve kept this blog, along with written and typed personal personals, documenting my life–my thoughts, feelings, experiences, etc. I’ve always kept a journal since age 15. Now that everything is electronic, much of this journaling has been captured on this blog. Much of my pictures have been stored electronically on hard drives.
I go the idea some time ago about creating a BLOG BOOK– basically compiling all of my posts and as much of my other entries as possible, and putting them into a professional-quality book.
I tried several sites, the one that worked best for me was Lulu.com. It allowed me to copy and paste all my blog site entries into a Word document, along with copied and pasted photos, and then PDF the document, upload it to their site, add a nice hardback cover, and–VOILA!–I’m an author.
🙂
I started the project some time ago, but am happy to report that I finished it last week! It only cost $98 after the coupon and shipping were added. It is supposed to be here in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait!!!
The book was about 460 pages. Yeah…crazy, huh?
So now that I’ve completed “My Life As a Mom: Part 1,” I am now working on “My Life As a Mom: Part 2.”
You make notice that there isn’t as much text written here anymore. The reason why is because I’ve been making entries directly into “Part 2,” to save me some editing time and such. I’ll keep posting here, of course, for those of you that actually come. But I know that most people skip the text and just review the pics, so that may primarily be what’s here.
Or, what I may do is just copy and paste some of the text from “Part 2” and include it here, for those that want the text, as well.
We shall see!
