Drat! Redux

Aprilynne Pike, author of the adorable book WINGS, posted yesterday about ideas--and how very few are actually all that original.

This ties nicely into the post I wrote recently about the book that comes out soon that sounded so very similar to my WIP, Scar Tissue. Luckily, that book turned out to be quite different, but I think Pike makes some very good points. So do read her post.

And I'm going to repost the video that Aprilynne did because it's kind of awesome:



But, also, check out this one, which makes me laugh every time:

I wish I could see videos at school! I'll email myself to come back later. :)
