There are almost always derivations in every new work harking back to stories/novels/ideas which have come before. As you said, the key is putting your own spin on things. Dan Brown made a heck of a lot of money with a basic idea which had already been thought up by someone else.<br /><br />Certainly though, a new story can simply be too close to an existing well-known idea, and this is apparently something which drives agents and publishers crazy (like the rash of stories about young boys going off to train to be wizards which were written on the heels of Harry Potter's success).<br /><br />Have to admit I've never read P&P...and Zombies. Really not sure I want to go there!Adina Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08860528131098237473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297558690242824384.post-90273759097111102852010-12-01T18:07:28.248-05:002010-12-01T18:07:28.248-05:00K.M.: Oh yeah!

I'd love to skip ahead a couple years and see what authors are as wildly popular then as she is now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832782604769370695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297558690242824384.post-86995269004906263752010-11-29T20:19:17.491-05:002010-11-29T20:19:17.491-05:00I like the lemon juice saying, and Prada and Preju...I like the lemon juice saying, and Prada and Prejudice...funny and original (this is the first time I come across it anyway)Grandpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13250675550143944134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297558690242824384.post-43502586258004072062010-11-29T17:18:14.316-05:002010-11-29T17:18:14.316-05:00I almost picked Bride and prejudice up at the vide...I almost picked Bride and prejudice up at the video store one time but caved to another movie that was popular that year. <br /><br />We do have our own perspectives and unique approach.
