Be aware that their are people that take advantage of other writer's work. It sucks but their are a lot of con (wo)men everywhere. I'd look into it if I were you, best of luck.rrrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07396690598131506129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490330684094624076.post-67137566320573293422012-03-18T08:53:50.010-07:002012-03-18T08:53:50.010-07:00That's freaky.

I'd be ripping my hair out if that happened, especially with my current book.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08821950387864713990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490330684094624076.post-35780621253088550692012-03-13T13:05:12.085-07:002012-03-13T13:05:12.085-07:00I think Maureen Johnson posted about that once on ...I think Maureen Johnson posted about that once on her tumblr. I wish I could find it for you, but I looked and couldn't find it. :(<br /><br />I had a similar situation about 6 months ago. It was a novel I was in the process of writing and like you, while wandering around the internet I found another VERY SIMILAR novel. I stopped writing the novel, but that was mainly b/c I lost interest.<br /><br />I think it would be up to you and what you want to do. I mean, there are no rules and it's your novel whether or not someone has written something similar or not.<br /><br />Hope that helps! :)<br /><br />-MeredithMeredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06080155950229034983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490330684094624076.post-82343941612511442162012-03-09T04:50:47.831-08:002012-03-09T04:50:47.831-08:00So sorry, that's got to hurt.
