Turning Point

Okay, I have decided I'm not going to do a recommendations part 3 after all. In fact, I'm not going to be doing advice kind of stuff on this blog at all anymore. I have had an incredible past couple of days. I finished reading the book I mentioned in my last update post, Two Weeks Til Spring, and I can't even really put it all into words right now. . .I'll just say that some amazing stuff has happened and I've reached a huge turning point! My life as I've always known it has completely changed and it's for the better. I have had a freeing, amazing experience and I feel awesome! I'm so excited to start on my new journey in life!

So my blog will probably reflect this. . .for starters, back when I was 17 I started writing my autobiography. I put it on hold the next year when I went to college but recently I've wanted to finish it for Logan. My uncle (the one I wrote about in my post RIP Uncle Dave), self published his memoir several years ago so that his family could know his stories forever. I'd like to do the same; I know there is a company that will turn your blog into a book, so much of what my blog will entail from here on out are stories from my life for Logan and my future children. I wish that I knew my family - REALLY knew my family, but I've accepted that I probably never will. No one will be able to say that about me.

As I was reading your post, I couldn't help but feel exhilarated. You did a great job transferring your excitement.

I will always be a fan.

Wow! I don't know how to turn a blog into a book, but it sure would be a lot easier than re-writing everything all over again.

I always have to come back to your blog when I have some time on my hands. Your posts are so long! lol

Just a couple of days ago, before reading this, I decided that I'm going to create another blog that's private, and start writing my book on it. I'm not going to start until this summer though.

We bought a hard drive just for the purpose of saving the info for my book, but than I still was worried that something could happen to that too.

So after racking my brains, I thought of the blog idea. You should have seen my eyes pop out of their sockets when I read your post. lol

When you get some extra time on your hands, which is very hard to find, would you be able to send me a link that tells about turning a blog into a book? I would love you even more! hehehe :)

Thanks Andrea.

Love,
Jenny

I'm glad to hear that your life is going so well. I always feel so uplifted when I read about your positive experiences. ;o)
