Besides, I've read that there are only like 7 types of stories and everything out there is just a variation of one of those.<br /><br />Hope revisions are going well for you! Mine are chugging right along :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615258719942916382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631364910342997782.post-28246815202537686552011-01-11T21:18:05.534-08:002011-01-11T21:18:05.534-08:00I think it's impossible to come up with anythi...I think it's impossible to come up with anything entirely new, but we can add our own spin to it.Susan R.

That <i>must</i> be a typo. ;)<br /><br />I agree that everything's been done before, and you definitely shouldn't be chasing trends. Just write the best story you can write and keep honing your craft. That's really all you can do.<br /><br />Great post! :)Abby Annishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543937393055900844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631364910342997782.post-4412127556486261512011-01-10T12:29:39.010-08:002011-01-10T12:29:39.010-08:00What is that comment about Shakespeare...he's ...What is that comment about Shakespeare...he's already written all the stories...we are just borrowing them, or something along those lines! lol The point is, it's what you bring to it as a writer that makes it new and fresh. No one can write your story like you can. <br /><br />Just like there are no new note combination's, but that doesn't keep me from loving new songs-even if they sort of remind me of another one. <br /><br />I do know what you're saying though, we all desire to be unique and brilliant...and that is possible. Don't let the worrying taint your creativity!Nicole McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13467516937078644466noreply@blogger.com
