You there, writer! Yes, you! Worried your idea is terrible? That it will never catch up? That it's worthless and dumb just like you? Well, let's face it. Your idea is stupid. Just like these:
An abused boy goes to a wizarding school and learns there's more to him than meets the eye
A group of teenagers are thrown in an arena to fight to death
A group of teenagers are thrown in an island to fight to death
A boy reads a book and delves into a fantasy world: The Neverending Story
A small and weak young man has to leave his village to save the world
Kids find a magical realm from their closet
A talented girl fights her abusers
A group of people stuck in an island of dinosaurs
A group of washed-up superheroes get back together
A man gets away before his world is destroyed
And these worthless ideas are only from the last fifty or so years. Before that there are five Thousand years worth of dumb ideas.
The point is: If you have an idea,
it's probably dumb, like all of them. Write it down anyway!
