I went through and compiled all the blog posts that I think might make up a good blog-to-book publication.
650 pages and 155,000 words later, it became clear to me that I guess I had alot to say in my 11 years of blogging 🙂
Looks like I’ll draft up a book just for me – a chronicle of the blogging years that I can read through at my heart’s content.
Then I’ll draft up a book that others might enjoy. Something much smaller.
I also hope to revise my Discovering Hope book since it’s been 5 years since I first published it as a book, and I’ve written a few more things about our Caleb and all his tiny life has meant in this world.
And the Lunchbox LOL Series could use a few tweaks, now that people have given it reviews and shared ways to improve the format of those books. I’d like to get the tweaks done before the next back-to-school season starts.
For now I’ll keep working on wrapping up this blog into a book. It might take a little while, but I’m excited to see it finished.
I’ll let you know how it’s going…
🙂

This sounds like a well-focused plan. I’m happy to hear you talk about more books. I hate the marketing side of authorship too 😦 It’s a huge time-sucker when I could be writing! Do you use Pinterest to market your books? I definitely wouldn’t suggest Facebook with the new focus they have going forward. Marketing is the number one topic that comes up in my conversations with other authors.
