HAHAHAHA! I heard that last night on the comedy channel and was hysterical for a good five minutes afterwards... although in my defense, I was exhausted and had just spent nine hours in a grocery store.

 

So, I spent the day doing nothing, so far anyway. I managed to get Ventrilo installed and got Davey to come, too and then they all teamed up on me... but I can handle it it's pretty cool. I talked to Adrian Michaels, Rakuten, Lost Cause, Tob, and Davey for a while. It was pretty easy to install actually, and get set up... and i'm pretty challenged when it comes to that stuff so...

 

I started UTBOS - Part 5 and have 1000 words done... so far so good, right? But the discussion that occurred with Steve prior to that was rather interesting, so I wondered what you guys thought since I had the almost exact same conversation with a few other guys in Com's chat the same night. So this is the BIG question:

 

Do you believe that there are no original plots or stories to be told anymore? And that the only thing that is original is the way it's told?

 

OR

 

Do you believe that there is always a new story to tell, and a way to tell it, without following the 'normal' boy meets boy, add a dash of angst, etc... format?

 

We were discussing what I was going to write besides UTBOS and I know what I want to write, I just need to figure out 'their' story so help me out and answer the question, okay? Besides, Davey is pushing me for something without ranches and horses and cowboys...
