It's so hard to be original now-a-days. For example, I had an idea called Mother Zombie that I wanted to do for so long. I started writing it. I made a blog for it. Advertised it on my twitter. I didn't have the follow-through with it though. Now, I go on facebook and since then someone has done the same exact thing. I'm thinking of doing it again now, but expanding it. I pitched the idea to a few people to get some artistic help. We'll see how it goes.
I also pitched an idea for a professional blog to get paid on. Not a ton of money, but a little money is better than no money. Also, if I get some experience under my belt I'm sure I can turn it into a career, having two blogs (one personal, one professional) to put on a resume. Get more work elsewhere. Blogging is something I was always interested in, but with the kids never felt I have the time. For example, look. I didn't post for the last two days. Way to go me.
It's hard to think of ideas that aren't already done. The internet makes things so available that I feel that there's not much room for original thought anymore. Even if it is original, it's so easy to find out that fifty people already had the same idea as you which would make it seem like you copied. I've always wanted to be 'internet famous' since I don't have much to offer off of the internet, but it seems that other than being well-known in a few roleplaying communities it's going to be very hard to get something going for me.
I've thought of a few ideas. Maybe one of these days I'll be able to get the ball rolling.
