Be original

Easier said than done.

Entertainment, as of late, tends to be a rehash of older offerings.  They remade "Dirty Dancing". Didn't watch it.  Probably won't.  They're remaking "Top Gun"?  ugh

Artists of every sort remake songs, movies, and television shows.

Why is it so hard to come up with something new???

New is scary.  New is risky.  New is untried and a bit daunting.

GOOD

If you follow trends, by the time you get a hold of one, the market is flooded.  "Twilight", and vampires in general, would be one example.  Massive outbreak.  Then the flood receded.
Burnout happens quickly.
You need to get ahead of the trend.
Or, wait for it, you IGNITE the trend.
Exciting, isn't it?

Pioneers are not wusses.  They don't give two shits about what others have done before them.  It's all about them and what their wants and needs are.

You write trilogies?  Oh, another Nora Roberts type.
You write Erotic Romance?  Geez.  Another Fifty Shades.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

Be bold.  Be original.  Be a Pioneer.

The proof is in the work.  And only you know what you're capable of accomplishing.
So don't rehash some tired old storyline.

"Beauty and the Beast" is my favorite fairytale and has been for as long as I can remember.  "Beastly" turned the old premise on its head.  And now I've found another offshoot, "Beast", that is doing the same.

If being true to yourself means treading where Angels fear to, you're on the right track.  And I couldn't be happier for you.

Always writing*
