Writers of the Future and an e-book update

Posted on December 1, 2011 by amandamccarter

So, I just got the e-mail. I am a semi-finalist for the 4th quarter of L. Ron Hubbard’s Writers of the Future Contest. I can honestly say I’m happy with this. I would, of course, like better, but I experimented with a style I had never done before and it did well, really well. The contest is, quite frankly, so close at these levels that a few years ago, it probably would have been a finalist. I am very pleased.

On top of that, last month, I experimented with free ebooks for the first time and it did smashingly well. I had over 1600 downloads total and I made close to forty dollars from sales. I don’t have the exact numbers yet, but I would call it a success. Good things folks, good things.

It is my hope that my craft and my work will one day be the same thing and I can spend more time on my personal life. I live with my boyfriend, my insane fluff ball of a cat, and two snakes. In what little spare time I have, I play video games, read, knit, and help out with the local conventions.
