/lit/ - Literature

Nothing kills my desire to write more than finding out a novel already exists with extremely similar ideas and theme. Past year I wrote a handful of short stories based in ideas I had. Spent two months adapting them into a full length story and pretty happy win the direction it's going.

The last night I was looking for something new to read and found a book trilogy I've never heard of which is eerily similar to my idea. I'm too afraid to read it out of fear that I'll subconsciously steal ideas from it.
