charliesmumThis sort of thing seems to happen more frequently than I would've imagined: Write a blog about funny cakes, get a book deal. Write a blog about cooking and get a book deal AND a movie deal. Tweet stuff your dad says and land a book deal and possible television show.
Makes me wonder, like all those 'memoirs' that turned out to not be true, if this is made out of whole cloth. I rather hope it is true, because it is one of those 'it could happen to me' kind of things. I'm a regular person on the internet! Just like him!
Although I doubt it, really. The key, it seems, is to stick to a topic, something I can barely do in a post, let alone a whole blog.
Also, poor Stephen Fry got caught in a flounce. I think it seems he handled it well, ultimately. And now the guy who called him boring got his own 15 minutes of tweeting fame, so there you go.
