mcityI went over my main ideas for books, mentally, aside from the autobiography.
I discovered that pretty much every single one is a parody or pastiche or alternate take or one of TVTropes "-ions" of some trope or several. Some were even basically fanfic. In fact, one idea I had happened to strongly resemble the Sookie Stackhouse novels.
As best as I can tell, I'm an unoriginal hack who is good at taking other people's ideas and putting them in pretty dresses.
This had me depressed for a few minutes, until I remembered how much money Dean Koontz makes, and I cheered up immediately.
