To save our thoughts and writings: is a typical human goal. In the sixties I wrote lyrics, in the eighties essays: for print media. No internet available. But then the times changed. In the nineties I tried to transfer my books to blogs. No I just discovered how to transport blogs back to books. Read more below …
As a wordpress blogger you have to export your blog via tools, download the xml-file. Then go to “blogbooker” to transfer to PDF-file!

You made a nice point… I started to write on walls or on everywhere where I found a pencil… 🙂 I was a little child. Then papers took place instead of my father’s book pages or my mother’s magazine pages… Then I had my first journal… a lovely notebook… I can’t believe, I can write all my story now 🙂 You inspired me. Thank you, with my love, nia

hi Nia, you inspired me with “Then I started to write on walls or everywhere whenever I found a pencil…” – when I was aged 8, I scratched on hundred houses my name in my hometown, because my parents went to another city hundred miles away. When I had my first car, aged 18, I came back to my old hometown, and still found some of the old initials on the walls!

I drew all over a nice clean wall on a construction site -a house being built across the street. Boy did I get in trouble. I wondered how they knew it was me who did it?

When I first started blogging I wrote the blogs in word first and then transferred them to the blog so I had the original copies I started with. I guess my process was backwards! LOL!
