Editing

2020 is all imported into my blog book, I have to change the format of every post, here you see how I use blogger to write and show photo's. When I started making these books the site I use imported blogger, but as the number of different platform rose for blogging they stopped the import feature, so these days it is all done by me.

Here is the final layout for my Blurb book, I have used this company for all my books,  I try and have only one page per post, I made 195 post that year. On occasion I do leave off photo's, it's all about balance and making the books interesting to look back on. It's not always necessary to have loads of photo's of the same thing.

This is the main page of my book account, 2019 was published years ago, 2020 is in editing stage, I am reading through each page, 2021 is coming along well, I have done up to June, it will take months to get everything in place, tidy and edited. Flowers will never be published, I use it as an editing tool for my photo collage's, 

This is not a sponsored post at all, just my views on creating books from my blog, I have made various post regarding how I create my books, the link here, will show you loads of posts. There are many cheaper printers and loads of special offers, but these are my passion and I love they all match, I can make them cheaper, but I love the feel of good paper, I use photo quality as well, so my photo's look their best. I have not checked the cost of printing yet, last time it cost me over £60 for 2019, I always get my printed in November when the company gives the best discounts. I will watch my e-mails and see if they send any good deals through this year, if not I hope to get 2020 and 2021 done in November.

The biggest investment is my time, I always put the post into each page and then spend loads of time making words and photo's fit on the page, then check grammar and spelling, then I will read through each page twice in hope to catch all mistakes. In almost every book after printing I find a couple small errors, that's Ok, I'm human and not perfect, a couple things won't matter, any more and I would be cross with myself. 

I often flip through a book, to check a detail, or the date something was purchased, on a boring day, I will pull a year out and read through it, my deepest joy is when Will aske to see my books, he loves to see photo's of him when he was younger. Hopefully one grandchild might like the set, just a few years of the life of their Nana, I hope maybe Molly, it would be nice, but I do get so much joy myself from them.
