Day Two, and so far my streak remains unbroken...whew!
Today I am going to field a question from the studio audience:
A viewer from Florida asks "Exactly how many blogs does it take to make a book?"
My initial answer to this is that plenty of books have been written without the Blog phenomena, however I am certain that a good number of them have been written because of it. I am guessing that I have clearly carved out a writing style through the magic of the Blog and that writing a book might be as simple as sitting down and writing it on a consistent basis until it was done. That is easy to do with a Blog. In the beginning I gave myself some simple ground rules:
- Write everyday
- Write something fun
- K.I.S.S.
- Remember it's not ALL about me (only mostly...it is MY blog)
As far as writing a book goes...bookstores are proof that you don't have to be a genius or even a very good writer to whip out a book. I have often thought that I have a number of books waiting to be written all swirled up inside of me. It seems like whenever I sit down to write things down, I have so much to say that I do not even know where to begin, or end. I also figure that my book will be all about my experiences, and that those experiences should somehow help others who may be struggling with similar ones. In order to help them, I feel like somehow I should be able to hold up the light for them to follow...yet I still fumble with the lantern. I feel like I will know when and if it is time, that I have a point to make. Until then I will continue musing about life, and how I get by, here in the cyber pages of MandalaBlog.
My question for you is: If someone offered YOU a book deal, what would YOU most like to write about?
