shoot, a book, really?

i got enough to scrap together for a book soon. by soon it may be a few months, but maybe i will start the first part. i plan to use this blog as a skeleton for this book. i only put about 50% of what i write on this blog plus i also need to write quite a bit to put these entries and post into context.

so yeah, maybe a book. for christmas i received some money to get a book made, i should have spent it on coffee, because now i really feel obligated to make something. i have no idea what form it will take or how much i will take from the blog.

our friend mel made a joke about americans recently. she said, not seriously at all, that the americans she met have been really into documenting. well, i am not an exception to this generalization, but i do not appreciate the documentation as much as practicing writing and doing something creative. also writing gives me a method of digesting what is happening all around and inside me.

so there is a book on the way, i will probably publish or get a copy printed sometime when i am 20, hopefully this summer! sounds like a lot of work, bummer.
