re: What's The Longest You Ever Worked On Something That Ended Up Not Being Needed?

Worked on a novel for two years, managed to get a NYC agent, they tried to sell it for 6 months and I foolishly took it away from them before they found a buyer, thinking "Time wasted".
Have been working on the rewrite tree months after a seven year hiatus. Now, I'm thinking NYT Best Seller potential.
Have changed the plot somewhat. It is now about an insignificant poultry character who hits the internet big time, flirting with a pack of tigers.
Lots of potential with a plethora of available sub-plots to fall back on. I have moved to Key West, am pushing 1,908 pages and writing hard every day that I am not soused on Old Charter and fishing for tarpon.

60 hours?
I used to work in product development. There was a product I worked on for over a year, traveling internationally multiple times, that turned out to be a backup plan that wasn't needed.
So it goes. The next product I worked on was widely used, and still is.
