Design Inspiration
///////////////////////////////

Not sure what your book should look like after publication? Don't limit your ideas to what you see in genealogy or family history. Take a trip to the bookstore and look at the aisles with an eye to format and what you like. If you find something you like that is really different, find out from a publisher how/why it will effect the budget.

Genealogy ideas

Don't forget sharing your history doesn't have to be relegated to "the family book" you publish. Seek new and exciting ways to share with the children in the family. It may yield more family historians then you would think.

Computer aid!?!
///////////////////////////////

Do you work on a keyboard at the computer? Especially if you do so for long stretches at a time - but not every day, consider getting an ergonomic keyboard. They can be hard to adjust too if you type every day, but will reduce muscle strain if you are an infrequent typest.
