I was looking through the sections of books at the new borders express in town and, as they tend to, a thought struck me. There seemed to be lot's of the same novel with different names.
For example, I saw at least five books with bare middrift and breasted girl on the cover about
said girl isn't normal because she deals with hidden underworld of werewolves and vampires.
Reading the backs you see that some details differ. In this one she has to stop war, this one has to find artifact, here she has to navigate old familes and rescue young boy.
Is this just a trend I'm seeing and next month it will be everything with dragons or are ideas simply becoming overused because fresh ideas are hard to come up with? I can come up with original story ideas that have nothing to do with werewolves or vampires or wizards or elves or any of that. Is it so hard to find something new?

New ideas are rare, but not gone altogether. Every so often people will come up with something really new and different. Then all the lame people will try and copy it.
They'll just ruin it, but at least they'll have something to do.
And why did I have to go through all that google sign up crap just to post this? Who updated the blog?
