Hi everyone,
I was finally able to spend a whole weekend at the beach (no rain included this time). However, i am totally sunburnt- which i hate as much as i hate spiders! But anyways, i laid out, swam in the ocean and had enough time to almost finish a 700 page book, so here lies my dilemma:
What do you do when you wrote a book and then , leisurely read someone else's, and a lot of the stuff you wrote is in their book?? I got so aggravated and feel like i need to change my book because i made sure to not have anything that resembles anyone elses book. For all Editors, Agents and Publishers: what would you do if a book resembled the details of another, already published, one? Me no likey this.
Today is time for some school supply shopping for my kiddies and hopefully a long writing session in the afternoon or late night.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
PS, you can leave a comment, i promise i wont bite!
Lucy

hey sweets. If your book is similar to another's, you have to ask yourself WHY? What are the similarities? Is your story too simple? Too common? Did you use an editor? Did you miss something? Did they?
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with pulling your book for edits if that's what is required. I always recommend using a professional editor (if you haven't) because they will see stuff you've missed. Plus we're too close to our work.
You may be fine. They will let you know, too. Good luck!
Thanks luv. I am almost done with my book, not fully finished- so i may end up editing the details i had in common with this book, that weren't really common to the world. I was suprised when i kept reading and it would describe something the same way i did. I know have to change a HUGE part of my book as they had the same idea- it sucks! I really want my book to be my own and dont want people to read it and go "Oh, this sound like this other book i read." No bueno! Thanks for the follow and the comment :)
