Hello! I was wondering, have you ever had self doubt about your plot or characters being unoriginal? If so, any advice on how to overcome that insecurity? Thank you!

Jennifer A. Nielsen Here's the thing: you are absolutely unique in this universe. No one thinks like you, or imagines story exactly as you do. If you stay true to who you are, your own joys and interests and passions, you will create plots and characters as unique as you are. When I look within for my inspiration, I create something original. That's really all there is to it!
