I’m supposed to get my novel’s “comp” novel “Annie Bot” tomorrow. I’m waiting for it with mixed emotions. It’s reputation is that of something of a feminist polemic and…I hope I don’t struggle with reading it.
I really need to actually read it so I can read it and comp my novel to it when I query my novel in a few months. Even though just the mere existence of a novel a LITTLE TOO CLOSE to my novel gives me the heebeejeebees, it is nice to have a published novel I can compare my novel to during the querying process.
My novel is shaping up to be pretty good, I think. I’m pleased, if nothing else. I’m sure someone else is going to get even closer to my novel’s premise — probably in the form of a movie — but, lulz, no one ever got anywhere in this world without taking a risk.
