So you writers out there...keep writing and I'll keep reading! Your voice IS unique which makes each story you write have a different "feel" to it compared to anyone elses. Readers will never get sick of the same old love story told a multitude of ways through different eyes and hearts. Keep it up!!! :) I love a love story.

I recently encountered a book with a similar premise to mine. The difference is hers has vampires and mine doesn't. And my friend also reminded me that my story is still unique because it's my voice. Still it can be disconcerting. Or do great minds think alike? :-) Timely post! Are you referring to the collective conscience that Jung wrote about, including the archetypes?

I remember a while back when I'd put chickens in a book and then a writing friend of mine - unbeknown to either of us - had also put chickens in her book. We wrote for different publishers, her chickens bore no resemblance to my chickens it was just one of those weird collective conciousness moments. I'm one of those odd people who can't work with someone elses characters - I even flunk Round Robin writing things. Everybody tells stories their own way - there may be elements taht are the same but the writers voice is as unique as a fingerprint.
