Blog Book
The Dartmouth Online chatters about an alumna:
When Melissa Lafsky '00 wrote her first weblog entry on March 14, 2005, she had no idea that less than a year later she would quit her job at a law firm, receive threatening e-mails and begin writing a book based on her experience as a 27-year-old associate lawyer. Lafsky's blog, in which she anonymously recounted life in a competitive Manhattan law firm, received nearly one million hits by the end of last year and garnered press coverage from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Harvard Law Record and the American Bar Association Journal.
'I honestly didn't think that it was going to be this big a deal,' she said. Lafsky identified herself last week after blogging for 10 months under the name 'Opinionistas.' In December, she quit her job at labor and employment firm Littler Mendelson to start her career as a novelist.

Amazing story.
I hope she still finds what to write about now that she'd quit.
We hear more and more of these stories of people that success almost fell into their lap in a manner of speaking.
