Writing and preparing yet another Blurb book has become a regular ritual for me. As soon as I finished Book III of the series of Vita Una books last September, I began work on Book IV:
The initial plan for the fourth book was to cover the period from Hannah at 3 months to when she’s a year old, but the large number of pictures I liked and are significant in Hannah’s life journey accelerated the production quite a bit.
This new volume covers the period between 24 Sep last year to 21 Feb 2010 and just a shade under five months. There’re more photos than the previous volume too: a projected 221 compared to 182, though that’s come at the expense of text. The format of the book, like the previous volumes, stipulates a maximum of 160 pages – a bummer since I’d really like to do up more pages if I could.
I suspect that the next volume – Book V – will come out even quicker, and that’s in view of the travels we’ve had that weren’t centered specifically on Hannah and I haven’t yet covered in the series of books. Specifically, I’d like the next book to at least cover the San Francisco and Kumamoto Trips, and Hannah turning one in June this year – and if at all possible, perhaps even pictures from the Boston trip if plans work out.
wa seh… if you guys decide to have a second kid, must keep up k? if not second kid may feel you’re unfair =( like my bro n me. i hardly have pics of myself when young cos i’m the second kid =(
Ya, and I was thinking about how all these new experiences would be diluted for the 2nd child just this afternoon!
