Believe it or not: This website is actually my legacy project. Mortality is truly frightening to think about. Recently I begun to think about what it is I would leave behind so that the generations after me would know I was here. At the same time, I wanted something for my family to be able to hand down, so that they will always have a record of who I was, how I lived, and in these trying times, a chronicle that detailed exactly where I stood in history.
I have been on various social media since 2007. Do you know how much typing I’ve done since then? So I’ve started downloading all of my records from all the sites I’ve been on. I also have been posting a lot on this page because when I’m done, I am taking all of the important parts, that described me and my life and I am publishing them.
Amazon has this great service where you can self-publish which is amazing because a lot of folks who have literary works but have no publish house backing are taking to Amazon to get their works out. All I need is a few copies to hand to family members for safe keeping and Amazon will allow me to publish only the amount I need.
The reason I am pursuing paper books in addition to this website is because I don’t know that there will be an internet or electricity in 2080 or that the public will have access to it. Publishing will allow my words to carry on without the need for technology. Picking the parts I want to include and editing will be a beast, but more than worth it.
