They say there are seven, to a basic plot line
In a stroke of brilliance, I penned an original this time
I post it on Vocal
Only to see that some Yokel
Has written a story like mine
I write this because I am sure we have all experienced it. I will say, sometimes I very much enjoy their version.
My thought is, this pushes all writers to become better, more original and to learn.
Note: I do not believe they are Yokels.(It was needed for the rhyme)
About the Creator
JBaz
I have enjoyed writing for most of my life, never professionally.
I wish to now share my stories with others, lets see where it goes.
Born and raised on the Canadian Prairies, I currently reside on the West Coast. I call both places home.
An African survival story
What is construed as glamourous in our everyday lives? Is it the perfect photograph splashed atop a story. Or is it the content written within the story. The poignant and true pictures of the real lives of a people who struggle for existence, the people whom we cannot begin to comprehend their daily battles for survival. A simple life of relative comfort to some, would seem like a kings palace and a banquet feast to many of our brothers and sisters around the world. Some who have to fight so hard for the providing of a few morsels for their daily bread.

Yes!! I’ve absolutely experienced this, I love seeing how someone’s interpretation of the same basic idea turns out so differently though haha
so relatable! I like what Stephanie said! nice use of the word yokel! what the rhyme desires it gets!
It is a surreal feeling when you realize not just someone else, but a lot of someone elses, share similar plots and ideas. It proves we are al really connected.
I've always heard if you have a great idea, chances are somebody else has it at the same time you do, LOL. Enjoyed your humorous spin on the topic.
The writer cleverly expressed the common experience of discovering similar stories, while also recognizing the potential for it to inspire growth and improvement in their own writing.
It even happens in the writers club I belong to, with only 15 of us. Of course, we all secretly feel ours is the best.
I can relate. Loved it.
Wonderful, very well done!!!💖💖💕
Oh yes, I have been there! Great stuff.
I gotta keep an eye out for that now, interesting thought!
Yup. I hear ya. Good one.
Love this, Jason! It never fails to amaze me how so many of us think alike 💕🙂
Yep! Happens all the time and, like you, I'm ok with it. On a side note, I have resisted the temptation to rhyme yokel and Vocal soooo many times...
