I really gotta stop holding myself back from writing just because of the “what if someone else has already done this story?” bullshit. So what, dude? Make it your own.

They’re just basic concepts right now but one is a time travel mystery, another is a dystopian space exploration political thriller, and another is a Greek mythology fantasy adventure. 😁
Exactly!! We haven't heard YOUR story and that's important. Would love to hear about what you're working on someday. I'm a writer too and I love hearing ppl's ideas
Wow thanks! 🙏 that means alot. Tbh, I feel like I have great ideas but get paralyzed before starting cause I let myself be overwhelmed by doubt. I convince myself that if I can’t make it the most ambitious, most epic, greatest thing ever then I am bound 2 fail. Perfectionism-based procrastination. 😩
I feel that! I put off my science fiction story for this because I want to be a better writer before I start that one... but it led me to a new story I am currently doing that I have been having a blast with. :)
Ooh I’d love to read that someday- if you’d be willing to share it of course. 🤗
I have 3-4 ideas that I really need to sit down with and see which one I’d like to focus on. A couple are sci-fi, another is fantasy. I’m gonna really dive deep to see which are worth exploring.
This! This is the perspective that I have been blind to all my life. This is what will ultimately lead me to actually doing something I can be proud of. 🥲
I based my own story off a multitude of things I enjoy. But while there's bits of inspiration and nods sprinkled all over, I still made it my own. Like, unless you basically are going out to blatantly copy something, it will never be the same thing. Might as well try and start it?
