I have at least 20 stories that I have written at this time. I have been in the process of going back and re-reading and editing some of them to post here. Even though the stories are already written it still seems to take me forever to be satisfied and call them a finished product.

At the same time I have another dozen ideas that I think have enough merit that they could become stories. I recently started actually fleshing out one particular idea I have been toying with for a long time. I am really putting a lot of thought into this story and hope to have at least an introduction or the first chapter up for your reading pleasure in the next week. I have tried to do a lot of research and find the correct terminology for the technical sections. This story follows the narrative of a classic horror novel that readers should quickly pick up on. Of course, it will have my own spin on it.

Speaking of classic horror novels, stories, and story ideas, I recently received a
message asking if I wasn't recycling previous plots, story lines, or ideas.
My answer is that everything I write is as original as I can make it. I never consciously copy anyone else's work, That doesn't mean I am not influenced by things I have read or seen previously. We are all influenced by these things. I don't think there are any original stories ideas now, I mean if you consider each story you have read or will read and break it down to its very essentials there aren't that many ways to classify them. Good Vs. Evil, Love, Revenge, Redemption, or Overcoming.
All we as writers can do is try and put a new twist, new perspective, or new view on our tales.

Good morning. Yes, I'm sure writing, just like music, is all influenced by previous works. (As Neil Young once said: It's all one song). We all have original ideas, but they are based on a previous original idea which was based on a previous original idea, etc.
Just keep doing what you do. It's all good.
