An idea I've had for years and harbouring and working on and falling in love with over and over again has just been destroyed. It wasn't anything important, or feasible, or possible, or possibly even that good, but it was something I adored and I'm really sad about it now.

Wow, it was a book too? Man, now I feel retarded about getting all upset about me stealing an idea, even if I didn't have a clue it existed. I've been pretty good in the last few days about not thinking about it, because if I start up again I won't be able to stop. Maybe it's one of those ideas I'll come back to if I ever seriously get a chance to make it.

Eh, I'm the same way though, when it comes to "borrowing" from other writers and whatnot for story ideas. I think a lot of people do, but I like it because it kind of works as a jumping off point, ya know? I'm sure the vast majority of my stuff could be traced back to something I watched or read. And eventually, of course, everything anyone makes will all have a vague similarity to each other, haha.

Argh! I'm so sorry! I'm really not being very helpful here am I?

Ahh! No, no! I think it's a good thing! Sometimes I think to much about one thing and don't do anything about anything else, I've been obsessing over this idea for years, I think it's about time I gave it a vacation.

(Do you have AIM by any chance? I always forget to ask.)

Hmm...well, if you're sure *still guilty*

(And yes I do! bacchantisms@aim.com...because I'm really somewhat of a dork...)
