My Lion King Forum

I'm a writer. I love writing. But now I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I can't write. Well, it's not that. I can't come up with any ideas. I just need to vent. I mean all the good ideas were stolen my Mr. I-Am-Amazing-Shakespeare. He's annoying. He just wanted to steal all the limelight not let anyone else have a go. You probably think I sound crazy, well I am. I want to be like J. K Rowling. I know I can I just, you know, can't. Any genius ideas will be appreciated. Something like Harry Potter. I'm really sorry about that, and I'm even more sorry about what I'm going to post next.
Please don't comment this and say 'Oh, it'll get better soon.' 'Do somethings to take your mind off it.' That sorta thing. Usually I appreciate it and it helps. But I'm on holiday, writing is what I do and I swear, I'll kill someone if I can get my hands on a good idea. Otherwise I'll just get worse and worse. I have and idea but it's pathetic. You can't make a movie out of people ______ __ ___ ___. It's just not realistic. I've started crying now.

I won't be that cliched person who says "Sorry, it'll all get better".
I am sure you are a wonderful writer. Guess what, I'm sure my stories aren't half as good as yours.
And yes, Shakespeare did take all those great ideas, didn't he? Grr. :T
But no idea is pathetic, Adimu.
Some ideas are odd, but my friend, there is no such thing as a bad idea.
I base a bunch of my little stories off of my dreams and/or nightmares [hope that doesn't sound too deranged]. I base them off of my characters, I just put them into human form, or sometimes I even write about them as animals!
You know, nowadays, this is very disappointing to all writers out there like you and I, but these days, original ideas are nearly extinct. I'm sorry, but it's sort of the truth.
J.K. Rowling is a famous author, Adimu, right? Well, there isn't just one series based off of wizards/witches/sorcery/magic.
It's based off of wizards, which there are a lot of books about, but the plot is different.
You can base your own stories off of anything, there is nearly no such thing as an original idea. But you can change the plot, characters, etc, etc.
You're a smart person, Adimu, and kind, compassionate, caring.
You will become an author. I promise you that. Just be determined.

Okay, then. Thank you! You're kind and compassionate and caring to write me all that. For me! Thank you so much! I'll just keep going on with my old idea, then. Thank you so much, Iri, you make everything better.

You're very welcome, my friend. <3
Shakespeare is awesome, but took all the good ideas. XD
