2012: a Year with Four Books on the Bestseller Lists— so why am I not rich?

[Dakota]

Looking back on my first year as a published writer, 2012, I published four books, which between them appeared on more than thirty bestseller lists, won an award for Best Novel, and were pleasingly well-reviewed. Thank you to everyone for buying, reading, reviewing my books.

Next I'd like to be rich as well as famous.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Happy New Year!

To paraphrase Colin Chapman: "Being a writer, retaining your dignity, getting rich, choose any two."

If it helps any, I read somewhere, a long time ago before I published anything, that Stephen King didn't make his first million until he was writing for around 7 years.

Don't know if it's accurate or not, but it's what I heard. From my own experiences, I'm having a hard time doubting it. ^_^
