As a writer I’ve stolen lots of ideas. All writers do it. How do you think we get our ideas.
Which is why it’s so weird that they object to having their ideas stolen en masse.
We go through this regularly, basically you make a living doing something, and you aren’t paid enough.
So every subject in every context arrives at the same place. Why aren’t they paying me. I must be paid.
It is a permanent obsession with writers.
I try to be honest and admit that I steal from other writers, but I only steal from the best! 🙂
