After all, everything pretty much has been written... but I think it's the different writers and styles and perspectives and the whole gamut of things that make them re-writable as a totally new and fresh piece of work.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121633384125171857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442642564388460169.post-22579292653082108772007-02-04T17:00:00.000-08:002007-02-04T17:00:00.000-08:00This just makes me laugh, Becca. Think of all the...This just makes me laugh, Becca. Think of all the movies that center on the underdog who finally makes good or all the songs that have been written about love.<br /><br />Just because you find other authors who have similar ideas, it does not mean that you should not pursue a storyline or topic. You will have your own unique angle from which to tackle it.<br /><br />I received an e-mail from another blogger friend today. In it she told me she had signed on to do a blog-along on Julia Cameron's newest book. I immediately went out to investigate to see if it might be interesting to me. As I was reading the "real people" reviews of her new book on a popular site, one of them gave it low marks because she felt that it was more or less a reworking of the material she has covered in the first two books of the Artist's Way trilogy.<br /><br />I can see both sides in that particuclar case--who wants to spend more money for the same nuts and bolts--but if you found the first and/or second books inspiring and need to find your way out of a slump (which I believe is the basic starting point in this particular book), this would likely be just the book to fill your need.<br /><br />Put the words on the page and let the editors/publishers decide if the market will not bear another book on a particular topic.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271616371758781735noreply@blogger.com
