Old project, no money: learning to quit
Today I’ve finally decided to stop thinking about a project which I began working on last year but was never paid for.
In truth, I’ve not done anything since I heard that the company had run out of money, but today, as one of the company’s minor creditors, I received a big pack of legal documents from the US. To be perfectly honest, it’s all rather confusing, and would need to be filled in and then faxed or posted back to the States. Even then, I’d stand little if any chance of receiving any money at all, and if I did, it might just cover the cost of faxing the documents back, and the time I could have spent working on other projects.
I’m just going to email the team handling this company’s affairs (from courtesy) letting them know not to bother with me.
Fortunately, I’d only written one “pilot” feature. If it had worked out, it would have turned into a series of posts which would have been pretty interesting to write – not bad remuneration for a fair amount of autonomy. Still, it wasn’t to be.
It’s not as if I’m sat here with nothing to do, anyway.

Well its quite disappointing you had to stop working on a project. But after all if something does not pay any hard cash then I think that you did the best thing by quitting.
Best of luck.
