Q: What do you do when you are working on a book and then someone else publishes a book on the same subject?
J: One of three things: 1: work harder to find a different angle and then pursue that. 2. Wait a few years and go back to it because time changes everything. 3. Write about the same thing but as a long poem instead.
Follow up Q: Is there a book you wish you had written (but that someone got to first)?
J: Not sure there is one, because my ideas and desires in the writing field are so broad, that even if someone else had written a book like mine, I know I could find a different way to tell it.
