Newsday has an interesting piece regarding the overnight fame and sometime fortune some bloggers are falling into. Still, the desire to be published in print offers something 15 minutes simply can't.

"Every so-called professional blogger I know wants to work for print," says Melissa Lafsky, 27, a lawyer whose popular blog at Opinionistas.com led to her finding a book agent, quitting her big law-firm job and starting a novel based on her blog. "There's still that desire for legitimacy. I'll admit it: I'll feel like a real writer when I have something published in print. 'Til then, I feel I'm faking it. Most bloggers I've talked to feel the same way."
