- Time of past OR future Camino

Yesterday I found the thread titled What do you do when you cannot walk anymore?
The answer that occurred to me was immediate: Time to write !!! That post is old, but very current, now that some of us are locked up at home or will be, not knowing what to do. Surely there are amazing and wonderful personal stories from many of the forum members. I mean stories of illness, accidents, pain... those circumstances in which most of us cowed by them did not.
And the present conditions are the best:
There is time for it.
They like to write and they do it well, they would have to write a minimum and a maximum of pages.
They love the Camino.
They need to walk the Camino now but it has to be otherwise, why not through the memories?.
They like to support, stimulate and transmit enthusiasm.
They have a sense of responsibility to the Camino and to keep it alive no matter what.
I do not know any other forum - and I know some - with the personal and cultural level of this forum, it is a mine to exploit, you just have to let each member begin to remember and speak ...
This is the moment when you can do it. I have read amazing and exemplary things from enough forum members to be sure that there are even many more that are unknown but similar.
We need to know them !!!, they are the kind of stories that enrich the Camino, that teach us to live for all. WE CANNOT LOSE THEM !!!
Today, editing a good quality book on the Internet is easy and cheap, just send the text in PDF format, and for example a book of 15 x 21cm and 210 pages, with an edition of 300 copies, costs € 1,135 , less than € 4 per book. More pages or more copies cost very little more. And simply choosing a title, among all the possible ones, for a book like this, is already an interesting challenge ...
They could be sold through Ivar. I imagine that several editions would have to be made ...
