Alan Place - A Writer in time
2012 was my Golden Year. That year, I earned two awards for my writing ability, one from an organisation in the USA, and the other from a writing contest on Facebook.
I am sure other writers felt the same, 2012 was the year of the Mayan Calendar, many writers wrote stories about the end of the world. I opften wonder what happened to them after that? But, if you made a lot of money that year, what followed is not important.
I wonder if any got a writing contract after that year?
All those books about 2012 are gathering dust on the shelves, but if they made you money, or earned a contract, I guess you don't care.
I was offered a contrct in 2012, but I turned it down as the publisher didn't care what I wrote as long as it was legal.
For years after that, I wondered did I do the correct thing, as that was the only offer I was offered in my 15 years as a writer?
Some writers I knew said, "If you're asking the question, you know the answer."
It didn't matter in the end, for some reason the publisher went out of business soon after
