Copycats

Get your own inspiration.

Have you noticed? If a unique story comes up on the feed, within a few days there will be one a bit like it posted.

It will be written differently but it is the same idea — taken from someone else’s inspiration.

For instance I saw a story the other day about X ways to do whatever. Today I see a story with (a different number) of ways to do the same whatever.

Sheesh. Use your own ideas.

But then again, there’s nothing new under the sun so maybe it’s just coincidence. But from what I notice, it would have to be a lot of coincidences happening a few days apart — or sometimes even the next day.

Maybe it’s not so bad. Maybe the second writer is just reminded by the first that he or she meant to write about that anyway. What do I know?

Just seems…fishy.
