This morning, I was browsing some entertainment news sites. I visited one that I don't visit too often. I visit it maybe once every couple weeks or so. I don't visit it on any kind of schedule, but just more or less when I happen to think about it.
This site has movie news and, when I visited it, I clicked on a few headlines related to a few familiar movies or their sequels.
Then, I clicked on one just because the movie title was unusual, and it sparked my curiosity.
So, then I read the movie's logline.
And, there it is... The plot of the novel I'm working on.
Mind you, this isn't a generic kind of plot, but rather something a little more unique. It's not 100% the same as mine and the end result will doubtlessly be different than my novel but, still, to the undiscerning eye, it may look like I copied the idea from the movie.
Filming begins in a few months. I guess I better hurry up and finish my novel so it can be available before the movie comes out. Maybe that way, the undiscerning eyes will think the movie copied off of me. LOL. (Then again, my novel will probably only sell a half dozen copies, but at least those six people won't think I copied the movie!)
