The Heather Show: Year One The Birth of a Blog The latest paperback from Out Of Your League Media     Ta da! 428 pages, 337 entries, 3,117 paragraphs, 216,074 words, 140,895 visitors: this is an anthology of my seventeenth year of life, and my first year as a blogger. For the past year I’ve been going back through each and every blog entry, reliving old memories, preparing the text for the release of this book.

    When I first started winding my way through the archives, I intended this to be a personal project. What better way to archive my journal entries than in a professionally printed and bound paperback book? But as I continued working on the project, I started to get comments from various friends that they’d be interested in buying copies too. I put extra effort into designing the covers, writing a fantabulous introduction, and formatting the text to look as professional as possible. Now the first volume is finally done! Huzzah!

    I’m really, really proud of this book, it took so much time and effort, and not just on my part either. I need to thank my brother Steve for the beautiful drawings of the silhouettes. Thanks go out to Stephen and Ryan for helping with the PDF that nearly ate Cincinnati. And I need to thank Sujit, not for anything in particular relating to the production of this book, but because he was an integral part of my life that year.

    Year Two is currently in the works, but in the mean time, take a look at year one and let me know what you think (in other words, please comment, people!) And if you’re interested, I think it’d be wonderful if you’d buy a copy. 🙂
