What would you do if your great idea was just release by another author?
So for the pas few weeks I thought I had this great idea for a book.. Started my notes, outlines and research. But this morning I'm reading through my PW Daily newsletter and what do I find? The release of a similar book... Arrrghhh. Now what?
Has this happened (which I'm sure it has) to anyone else? And what was your next step?
- Did you scrap the idea
- Revise the plot or story
- Tweak it and use the idea in another genre
- etc....
As a newbie this is the first time I've actually seriously sat down outlined, researched and started on characters just to come across a new book with the similar plot.
