Why you should not worry about being Unique?

A few years back, I was narrating a story I was working on to a friend. After patiently listening to my story, he suddenly sat up straight, and asked, “Have you copied it from somewhere? It sounds like something I have read before.”

You think that you have come up with a great story, and your friend accuses you of Plagiarism. There are very few things in life, let me tell you, that can irritate you more than such an accusation.

I, naturally, asked my friend about the part of my story that sounded copied.

“All of it,” he said in a matter-of-fact tone. Then he continued to tell me how my story was a copy of the so many stories he had read before.

Writing Tips – from The Master Chef

Writing Tips- From The Master Chef!I don’t enjoy cooking, and I don’t like watching reality shows. As a result, I don’t watch the Master Chef shows on TV.

In today’s world, there are more than enough sources of entertainment, but the sources of education are few and far between.

5 Places to Look for Ideas to Write

May 22, 2011 / / 0 Comments

When you are writing regularly, you are bound to run short of ideas. It may seem that your mind is full of ideas, but when you sit down to write you can’t hold on to a single one. Not unlike trying to catch the little fishes in a stream  – you see so many of them, but every time you dip your hand in the water to catch one, the hand comes out empty.

Not being able to write when one wants to can be quite frustrating, and can also make a dent in one’s self-belief. Therefore, it is in the best interests of the writer, if he can write whenever he chooses, and to do that a writer should have a repository of ideas to draw upon in times of need.
