Happy New Year's Eve, everyone!  

Just want to take a second, and address all the writers, and photographers out there:  Whether you do your creating for fun or profit, make sure you create a hard copy of your hard work.  If you've taken the time to make an eBook, or a website to feature your creations, then go the extra mile and make a paper book for yourself and to share with others.  

It is a priceless thing to have in your hands, and is well worth your time for so many reasons.  

I use Amazon's Createspace ( https://www.createspace.com/ ) service for my mass market paperbacks, and Lulu (https://www.lulu.com/ )  for the more precious hardcover versions.  Lulu also makes fantastic photography books for your photos, with templates right in the creation process that are easy to use.  

Both services are free for you to use; you only pay for each copy of the book on demand; and both are also very reasonably priced.

So make it your resolution this coming year, to preserve your creativity and memories in a physical format; that you can enjoy for years to come, as well as your children and grandchildren!

That all sounded a lot like an advertisement, but it isn't.  lol
