I don't know how to explain this lol

I want to write something that makes someone out there think, "Man, I wish I thought of that." But I feel like nothing is original anymore?

I have many ideas that I feel like have never been written but I don't think I could ever write a book. it would be cool if someone wrote a book about a highway woman. I feel like it's always the male that's like the dark evil mysterious whatever character and never the female.

ooo i think i understand where ur coming from cait! i feel like you can try to branch out different plot ideas that you are interested in and delve deeper in to each one and find some links that you could connect them with. im sure u can find something that's original and yet smth that ur passionate about!! 💌💌

Totally agree about nothing feeling original anymore!! However, the worst thing that could happen is that you write a book and it may not feel totally original or ground-breaking, but at least you WROTE a BOOK! It can never hurt to try 💓

If you're good at writing you can be a ghostwriter! Basically, they give you the idea and the main plot and if you like it, you can accept and write the story

most "original" writers actually take a lot of inspiration from other works of fiction and even real life events! originality comes from the fact it's YOU writing it and not someone else :) just focus on what you want to SAY when you write, rather than what someone else might want to say !

I suggest to write a short story first. I really liked a game we played at one writers' site, where all participants received same prompts, for example, genre - urban fantasy, main character - an old man who forgot how old he is, location - a cursed underground forest, and then everyone had to come up with their own story (not more than a 1000 words) First, you don't know how to combine those prompts, but then they help you to focus, and you come up with ideas you would never thought of otherwise :)

Nothing is original... Literally every story written can be connected to either folk tales, greek mythology, or religion. IMO I think a good story is about having readers connect with the characters with their thoughts and actions rather than trying to be original. Focus more on your characters and setting the rest will follow. Happy writing!
