Honestly, I heard a guy at the coffee shop in Boulder say 'everyone's story is just a collection of borrowed words' and now I can't stop thinking about originality in writing.
What's a prompt or idea that made you question a basic writing rule you thought was solid?

Honestly just saw a tweet that was word for word a line from a 2008 blog post.

Nah but seriously nothing is really new these days, people have been rewording the same thoughts forever because most ideas have already been out there. Reposting old stuff just means you're keeping a good take alive, no shame in that.
