When Amy wrote her first novel in
secondary school, she never imagined that she would become a writer one day.
Like many 16 writers on the Internet, the 17 woman
got into this online world accidentally(偶然地).
Three years ago, Amy worked in a
medical industry. Her job kept her busy for six months and left her almost 18
to do for the rest of the year. To fill the time, she started writing
19 on the Internet. Her first novel was about her neighbours
and their life 20 she is familiar with.
Amy has been interested in
writing 21 she was a child. At first, she just wanted to
share her novels 22 people she knew. Then one day an editor
of a famous website emailed her, asking her 23 she would like to
sell the electronic copyright(授权) of one of her novels. She 24 immediately and
the novel was moved to the VIP section of the website. She got $ 1,500 for
that.
Now Amy is a full-time 25
. So far her eight novels have come out online, and five of them 26
.
“The Internet made me famous and brought me 27 ,” she said. “I earn much more money now— about $60,000 a year. I am 28 with my career, but there is one problem — that my talent might run out
after five years and I’ll have to 29 to
work in the medical industry.”
“Before that day comes, I’ll
keep 30 for the readers with my light and
close-to-everyday-life writing style,” said Amy with a smile.
