Are
you a writer suffering from writer's block? Start writing! Your block
is likely because you are demanding of yourself a totally original
plot. Chances are, your plot has been done before in some shape or
form, and inevitable comparisons will be made despite how unique you
thought your plot was. In fact, when sending a submission to a
literary agent or publisher, sometimes it's a good idea to let them
know what your story is similar to. Movie producers listen to
countless movie pitches and their experience allows them to quickly
compare pitch ideas with several other similar movies to judge the
merit of a pitch. Yes, a plot is an important factor in a story, but
often it develops during the journey of writing. If you are striving
for a truly unique plot, you're probably wasting your time trying to
design it that way before you even start. Just get writing!
