Hi Sandy,

On the NABBW teleseminar we did last night with Ronda Del Boccio, I posed the question, "Can journals be used to create books?" I was of the opinion they could, though at first Ronda wasn't too sure whether or not a journal could be interesting enough to a wide enough audience who were willing to pay for the book...

I said, "What if I picked a topic, like "my first date," and posted the entry onto a blog, then recruited a number of other writers to blog on topic, sharing THEIR stories of first dates."

Seemed like it would be an effective way to use a journal entry to write a book.

Sounds like you and your co-author have come up with an equally fascinating way to do the same...

Anybody else out there turned journal entries into books? I know Erica Miner has...
