#you need modern pop culture titles to comp to so even if I didn't love Circe I would still read it#gay version of a tragic greek myth that's popular on tiktok = good comp title for a queer Helen of Troy retelling#I might have to rebrand to it being an Eris retelling tho#because of that Helen/Cassandra book that came out a few weeks ago#it looks good I'm just scared it will crush my hopes and dreams#possible other comp title is It Ends With Us bc it also involves intimate partner violence (Eris is a bad girlfruend)#while being popular on tiktok#but uh#what ive seen of that book is#how do I put this#bad#bad prose#misleading marketing#weird goofy details that derail the tone rather than lightening the mood#helen you deserve better than colleen hoover#eris you t--on second thought you might you apple rotten right to the core from all the things passed down from all the apples coming before#maybe i'll think of something better Idk#Song of Achilles × It Ends With Us just sounds more marketable than anything else I've come up with#i need to engage with booktok more#this is your writing ramble tm for the day
