Go back far enough and everything has been done before, so you shouldn't worry much about it.
So true. My university prof has been saying it for a year in a literature studies course.
Go back far enough and everything has been done before, so you shouldn't worry much about it.
Thankfully, I haven't discovered that my story hs been done before, but I weep for you guys that have. Truly, I do.
These days, I try to be preemtive about this, so I make of point of having my stories resemble other stories that I like, deliberatelly. I find that this is a more honest approach that saves me a lot of stress.
