Well I've done it. I've self-published a book. You know over 25 years ago, I thought I'd make a conscious effort to write and collect letters. Not everyone knew I was saving mine. But I had a willing group of family and friends, who still appreciated written communication. It was a time, before everyone was so easily connected by their digital devices. Now we can video share on FaceTime, ichat, send notes and photos, on Facebook or email, making the need for letter writing a bit old fashioned and unnecessary. Anyway having saved 7 years worth, the technology has made it free and easy to put it all together. There are plenty of sites to browse, but I chose lulu. They give you the step by step process for formatting your document. Once that's complete, they can digitally produce your product at will. I love it. Who knew after 20 years of thumbing through the pages, and wondering, will they ever see the light of day, badda bing badda boom! Take a look and send lulu your dough.
