Presumably if this happens it means you've got writers block? Time to take a break methinks!

Well, I haven't noticed a correlation with writer's block. It happened a couple of times on my current project where I've felt like I'm in the groove.yellowfever wrote:Presumably if this happens it means you've got writers block? Time to take a break methinks!
It is kind of frightening to think everything I write is actually incidental music from some episode of Gilligan's Island I saw in 1967.

I had someone accuse me of stealing a melody when it was my own, I know it was my own too for a fact.

Inadvertent theft, borrowing, whatever you want to call it, happens all the time in the Arts. Luckily for most of us it mostly only becomes an issue for those who are successful. In their case as someone already pointed out, there is usually quite a bit of forgiveness, especially if they are indeed talented and deemed to be creative artists.
Charlie Chaplin reportedly once woke up in the middle of the night and in a moment of creative inspiration composed Jose Padilla Sanchez' "La Violetera" which ended up as one of the main themes for his movie "City Lights". Given his popularity and the worldwide success of what is sometimes considered his best film, it was highly unlikely that no one would notice. Yet that didn't ruin his career nor the reputation of the wonderful film. I guess you gotta be careful, though, about anything that's done as a result of the inspiration coming from dreams. Perhaps that's also true about ideas that come to us when we are under the influence of certain substances.

Apparently every musical phrase had been used a few centuries ago and we all just regurgitate stuff that's already been written and forgotten with time. I don't know whether that would hold up in court though. Can't be as bad as 'ice ice baby' though can it? really? You must be really under pressure.
Apparently 32% of statistics are made up. Apparently an inconclusive conclusion is the only true conlusion because uncertainty is the only certainty. Certainly.
