She chose the latter. Let's be honest here most people who want to write for a living want fame and fortune at some point. I've learned not to be a fan of anything because things and people change and by the end they are not worth my time anymore because they have conformed in order to survive . If this books really is good she might get the fame and fortune she seeks and in this day and age that's all that matters. Fan's at some point become worthless because if you are popular enough you will gain as many as you loose. Which is why I refuse to be a fan of anything now.
All the other bloggers that got publishing deals that I am aware of have left the original blog versions online.
