I am a blogger and sometimes I find articles with similar content or an idea coincidentally similar as mine which is not published at the time of reading that similar article but which I have written as draft already.

Then I worry that whether my article will look original or not. I know it's too broad and often irrelevant to think that way because only a few similar lines in a different context or a similarity of topic of writing or some similarity in writing on a topic which is also similar to the one I have already written bother me.

However, my question is what would you do as a writer and blogger if you find coincidentally similar work published by someone else before publishing your own work.

This question has become an anxiety before publishing anything and has lessened my blogging too.

I write non-fiction and poetry mainly. My question is about fiction and non fiction both.
