I believe there is a big difference between a blog and a book! What might be 'good' as a blog can't be a good book and vice-versa!

What about blog containing poetry? Can't its compilation regarded as a book?

yeah, poems can be converted to books! but sure, need some tweaks, as all poems might not gel well.

I would love to be one, somwhere down the line... but for now, earning money takes priority

not initially and not all... barely 1% do... so keeping probability in mind, I would rather first earn some money and then write!

Writing can be done simultaneously with your current job....

I wish it was that easy for me.. I can barely manage articles for blog. THough I get your point. Infact, I have just written my first short story.. which i hope is the first of the many!

I agree with ashish here, to get published is a tough job in the first place.

even Mark Twain struggled as a beginner,and was thrown out of a publishers office.once.

this is on my retirement agenda.
