BLOG BOOKS?

>>>What do you think is necessary to turn your blog into a published book?
My blog is uneven because I’m responding to outside prompts. Some topics I can write about, others are not so hot or require a lot of research, or time that I don’t have. That is not the contents of a book. Maybe out of ten years of daily blogging, there would be enough good ones to assemble, who know?

>>>Do you need to base your blog on one topic or theme?
Books are intended for others to read. One topic could be really boring unless it contained vital information or continually fascinating antidotes. Then you have the diary or journal of a famous person.

  >>>Or have random entries like we do with here in the group?
Random entries from a group of very different individuals might be interesting. Amusing, human interest books are very common. However, a collection of writings from folks struggling in this crazy world could have value.

>>> Do you think we will see blogs published as books in the future?
Absolutely. Publishers only have so many submissions every year. A good blog book would have as much chance of being selected as any other book idea.
You know, Blog World, The Best of Blog City, Amazing Blogs, Blog Survival.

Blogs are the new diaries, the new journals---electronic, digital, instantly available. Will our society drown in blogs and FaceBook entries? Probably, until something new comes along.
