In 2009 I started working on a second major body of work. That piece was a factional account of global sporting event. The work was started in what was known as National Novel Writting Month. Participants would write their story, upload the title and synopsis, and as they proceed, enter a word count for their body of work.
My progress in that after completing the event, resulted in about 120,000 words written - but it was missing something. So, I set it aside.
Last week I returned to the body of work having sourced some information that would add the details I needed to complete the work. While researching that, by chance, I just happened to enter the parameters of my work into Amazon.
Son of a bitch. The exact same piece of work using the same title and a slight varient of my work was published in April this year, by someone I do not know.
Coincidence? Probably. Liable? Probably not.
You snooze, you loose.
