When Amy wrote her first novel in secondary school, she never imagined（想象） that she would become a writer one day. Like many writers on the Internet, the 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 to do for the rest of the year. To fill the time, she started writing on the Internet. Her first novel was about her neighbors and their life that is familiar with. Amy has been interested in writing she was a child. At first, she just wanted to share her novels people she knew. Then one day an editor of a famous website emailed her, asking her she would like to sell the electronic copyright(授权) of one of her novels. She at once and the novel was moved to the VIP section of the website. She got $ 1,500 for that.
Now Amy is a full-time . So far her eight novels have come out(出版) online, and five of them were printed. “The Internet me famous and brought me ,” she said. “I earn much more money now— about $60,000 a year. I am with my career, but there is one problem — that my talent might run out after five years and I’ll have to to work in the medical industry.” “Before that day comes, I’ll keep for the readers with my light and close-to-everyday-life writing style,” said Amy with a smile.
