What are you Writing now?

Reading Motor Girl now. Just wanted to check with you: obviously no way I would rob your idea, but it's lit a candle in my head about another story I'd like to write. It is nothing at all to do with yours, but something Nancy said kind of gave me the idea. Are you okay with that? I'll fill you in more on it if you want, or when it's written I'll send you a copy so you can see if it looks like I've ripped anything off from you, though I promise I won't. It's just this tiny spark that you lit that has sent my mind off in a totally different, yet very slightly similar direction. If it ever gets published I'd be happy to credit some of the idea to you if you want.

Keep in mind that I am only a few pages in, so I don't know how your story will turn out, but I already know it's not going to be the same as the one I've thought of. Truth is, I thought yours was going to go in that direction, and when it didn't, I thought, hell that's not a bad idea though. I can work with that.

You cool with that Ori? If you want more info or clarification let me know.
Thanks

Yeah, totally. Go ahead, man. You can put an "Inspired by..." or something like that if you want, if you feel like your story ends up in a similar place.

I'll be completely honest with you, the only similarity will be someone answering the door to someone they did not expect. My character will not be in the process of committing suicide (although after having read my story, some may decide it's time to end it all. Or else come looking for me)...

It was that line "it couldn't be" that kind of kicked off the idea in my head. Thanks though. I'll let you know how it turns out. It's probably about number fifty-three on my list now at the moment.
