I agree with everybody. This will be a bestseller. Remember to include pictures.

And if you don;t want to compromise with layout, you can do it on your own. Pagemaker is easy enough to learn. I’m mostly self-taught but I layout the publications I churn. My readers like it naman.

As long as you have the eye for what looks good, it’s easy enough to layout.

I don’t need to give advice in cooking and photography. Frankly, I’m not qualified. Plus, you do very well on those fronts already.

That way, no one will botch it up :)

If it is half as interesting as your blog, you will be a success! And go with your instincts. Sometimes the so-called experts have narrow-minded views. It is better to have fresh ideas from the non-experts.

like leaves do… i hope i’m making sense.

promise, i’ll be one of the first hundred to buy your book. i’ll take all of my 20 close friends with me at the opening and blackmail them to buy a copy. HEHEHEH. nah, they don’t actually need prodding…we all are actually mystified on how you look. but, that unknown is quite cute… you’re like charlie in charlie’s angels.

anyway, i have to go back to baking those cinnamon rolls. i’m just waiting for the dough to rise.

i hope that when i can grab some chance to check your blog again… i’ll be able to see the sched for the book launch. WOOHOO! wear shades or a really cool iron chef get-up with a mask on ha! may all the good vibes go your way for that great book! FEEL the pressure! : )
