Am I an author?

I haven't been writing here lately because . . . I am writing a book! Sort of.

Actually I have been thinking, for a while now, that it would be really cool if I could make my blog into a book. Something that you can hold, and turn the pages. After pondering this for a while, I finally looked around and found a site that will take your blog and transfer it into a book. Cool!

With a free download, this make-your-own-book program (blurb) will "slurp" my posts and then I can edit them as I like. So I've been doing just that all week long; reading over my past entries and rearranging pictures on the pages, etc. And you know what? I am a rather fascinating person. Well, at least I am kind of interesting. Well, at least I have enjoyed reading what I had to say.

It's been time-consuming, in a fun, happy way. Unfortunately the printed book will be a little pricey. Unless I order about a hundred of them. So, if you know a hundred people who are clamoring to own the first anniversary edition of Loralee's Fancy, let me know! ;-)

How much for an autographed copy? ;-)

Bruce, an autographed copy will cost you every paycheck for the rest of your life. But for that same, low price you will receive some other extras as well. ;)

Blurb sounds cool!
I'm not good at keeping a journal of the cool things the kids do, but I do blog about them. One day I'll have to turn it in to a pricey book.
