From Blogger to Writer

Once upon a time there was a 30-something woman who used to write a personal diary. Since she was living in the age of the Internet she wrote her thoughts on a virtual diary, also called a blog. The blog got so popular that a newspaper wrote about it. Then a publisher read the article and offered to put all her thoughts in a book — not an electronic but a printed one. And this is how she became a paid writer.

This is the nice story (which can be read in this newspaper article, in Spanish) of how Almudena Montero has passed from being the author of the “AMQS” blog to the writer of the “Vida perra” book. The volume also can be bought online, as she explains in her successful online diary (also in Spanish).
