I have finally come to the end of the road when it comes to my unwillingness to read the comp novel to my novel, Annie Bot. I just have no more excuses. If I’m going to query my novel properly, I need to have read Annie Bot.
Now, my novel is very, very different from Annie Bot in some basic ways. It is, as I understand it now, something of a feminist screed against what my novel embraces in a somewhat humorous manner.
But the basic premise of my novel is close enough to Annie Bot that I feel I absolutely, totally, have to read it if I want to query properly. So, lulz, in the next few days, I’m going to force myself to do just that.
I don’t have any more excuses. I’ve actually got a reasonably finished novel on hand, so I can’t use the excuse that reading Annie Bot might discourage me from finishing.
Wish me luck.
