I have no idea what to do for @rumbellebigbang. Every idea I come up with either gets done by someone else, or is not something I’m ready to tackle right now.
I’ve been reading a book called ‘The Writer’s Mindset’ which is about all the Ahhhhh #writing is hard things that drive us insane.
There is a chapter called ‘My writing isn’t original’ which begins with the line “Every story has been written before.” And the antidote it offers to this worry is this
“YOUR thoughts have not been written before, and YOUR story has not been told before. YOU are the original aspect of creativity, and what you bring to the world will be different to what others bring, even on the same topic.”
It says that just because stories have similar aspects they are not the same. That this means “they will satisfy readers of this type of story” and that authors all bring their own original spin.
So TLDR it doesn’t matter if other people have done it, you will do it your way.
