And anyway, I think that once you're dealing in such a classic theme, you get more leeway for making it creative and fresh. I mean, how many love stories are there out there, and yet people keep writing them and getting them published.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553993991195412089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137437789561707142.post-89548737321623278792012-02-08T15:52:38.034-05:002012-02-08T15:52:38.034-05:00Thanks Donelle.

Yes another person commented on the different Cinderella movies there are and yet each is different. Thank you. Glad you find it fascinating.

Look how many re-tellings have been done of stories like CINDERELLA. I think you're probably okay with this one and it sounds fascinating :-) I think often when people are a fan of something (like a show like REVENGE), they're going to be on the hunt for something that might feel a little similar. I know I'm like that. Your story could be the exact thing they're looking for! :-) I say stick with it.Jaime Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023932422477544525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137437789561707142.post-90272834560672940632012-02-08T10:56:42.720-05:002012-02-08T10:56:42.720-05:00When I first saw the commercials for Revenge, I di...When I first saw the commercials for Revenge, I did think of your story. And for me, the idea was yours first! Your story is plenty different, and of course has your own unique voice. If anything, the show just confirms that there is an audience for the story you're telling! I hope your writing is going well!Laurie Dennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01089552813955890768noreply@blogger.com
