Am i one only one who have this problem?
Every time i try to find an idea for a story i find somebody who allready used those ideas or i try to create something and realize it has elements of stories i really like
It seems like so much time passed that it is really hard to find something new that was never told
The last thing i want is to blatenly ripoff something

You're never going to get published with that attitude young man.

how do you deal with the prblem?
Everyone repeats something someone else did at some point. Nothing's original. You just have to put enough of your unique spin on it.

>trying to write something that has never been told before
Oh boy...you're never going to get anywhere with this attitude, anon. The best writing there is has been retelling's of something that came before it. None of the classics are entirely original.

So long as you tell it in your own way, you won't have a problem.
I feared this but then I searched concepts, neologisms and aphorisms on google without hits
But my writing is making very little progress

what kind of story do you write?
>>9767687
It's easy to be innovative and creative. It's just that nobody wants to read it.
At the end of the day you should do your traditional story Lonesome Cowboy #7831 or whatever.
Don't bother trying to be creative, because it's not about the story - it's about the presentation.
And thanks to the Internet we now know that a billion monkeys with typewriters doesn't produce Shakespeare.

I was going to tell you but then I got a connection error, and after that I figured I would keep it to myself
By the way it is almost nothing what I wrote, and there is a high chance nothing will ever come out of it
For inspiration I expose myself to speculative science as well as fringe political and philosophical ideas

the line between be inspired and ripped it off is quite thin
