Day 266: a little secret.

I'm a writer. That's not a secret. And I've been writing this blog for 266 days, which is also not a secret. What is a secret (or was until now) is that for a small while I've been harbouring a little dream (and no I'm not talking about becoming a rock star, although that's still pretty much front and centre in my dreamscape); I want to turn this blog into a book. I want to take this mental little journey you have so kindly been accompanying me on, bind it and put it on the shelves of my favourite book stores for all the world to read. "But all the world can read it right now", I hear you say, "why does it need to be printed in a book?". Well, I'm old school. I like books. And my Dad won't read my blog until it's committed to the printed page. I could just print it out for him, but a book would be so much nicer. So now I'm about to embark on the mission that is trying to find someone to publish this thing (like I needed another mission to complete). And I wanted to ask for your help. Are there any days that have particularly struck a chord with you? Any moments you've liked? And on a more sensitive note, do you think anyone (other than my Dad) would want to read this in a book? As the marvelous people who actually read what I write, your opinions on this matter a lot. So please tell me what you think. On a similar note, it has occurred to me that this blog ends on day 365. On day 366, I am officially allowed back on the piss. But with no blog, I can't tell you how it went! It's perhaps kind of pathetic, but I've gotten used to telling y'all about my highs, lows and little challenges. Your lending a cyber ear (eye actually, but you know what I mean) really helps me put things in perspective (thanks for that by the way). How would you feel if I, maybe, say, started another blog? It might not have to last a whole year, and it might not have to be every day, but would it be too much if I asked you guys to help me get back on my drinking feet? Just by popping in and saying hi once in a while? You've already given me a lot of your time, which I appreciate. And I completely understand if My Year Off The Piss is enough. But as I said, your opinions matter. So, book? Another blog? Yes no? Tell me what you think.
