Why am I finding myself in these stories?
Okay, so I just want to keep things real with all of you. Please don't get what I'm saying twisted. I don't see myself as a good writer. I never have and probably never will. I'm okay with that thought. But I try even when I am having a hard time connecting with my characters. What I really don’t enjoy seeing or perhaps reading someone's story and finding myself in a scene that really has me wondering why have I been here before? Most writers know there language and I am pretty sure all you great writers know it as well.
I feel like this if you plan to use a line or a scene and cloak it to your pleasure yet, you know you have read this somewhere before on this site. Please let the author know you want to use the scene or lines from their story. Or just say look I was inspired by so and so. Give that respect to that creator of those scenes and lines. We all are reading, and writing, and inspiring each other. But in some sense it starts to feel like low key plagiarism. Some see it, some don’t and some of us know to our very core what we created.
You all do know what happened to the most beautiful angel that wanted to imitate God? Right?
We are all creative on this site. I love each and every story I have read completed and incompleted. I am pretty free minded about alot of things. But my stories are my stories and I work hella hard looking through thesauruses and dictionaries to be thorough about the words I use. Yes. I know many stories are very similar. But I try to work outside the box. I would like to stay that way and not find me in these stories. All in all please have respect for your fellow writers keep your stuff organic.
Peace and XOXO's- oceans of it
