That's scary as, given I only wrote that one the other day...<br />I was also thinking though about when we do sweeps in the boat off a headland trolling for salmon and how the big water always looks like it will suck us onto the granite. Barnacle bait. It scares the crap out of me in quite a different way to unintended plagiarism.sarah toahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412812914705725798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-2464990662516366722012-08-06T12:52:00.080+08:002012-08-06T12:52:00.080+08:00A good anecdote, thanks Greg.

He is a historical character who lived around here before white settlement.sarah toahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412812914705725798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-338487980624386422012-08-06T01:06:25.871+08:002012-08-06T01:06:25.871+08:00I'm seeing Rohan Wilson, but Rohan Wilson saw ...I'm seeing Rohan Wilson, but Rohan Wilson saw Cormac McCarthy so its okay. Everything's okay in that regtard. Have to say I had that feeling recently too, the idea I was going to write something thinking it was original only to find it's a rehash of something I'd reaf elsewhere. It came as a kind of deja vu thing at first, which I entertained for mystery's sake, then shat myself when I thought where else it might have come from.<br /><br /><br />It's meaty alright, loved the boat capsize, the suck back and dump.

Is there more and where do I find it?<br />A famous edito of one of your favourite writers, told me once, that the fear of plagiarism is generally unfounded. At the time, I was concerned that I'd written something from a subconcious memory which had been written previously by said writer before me. At the time, I noted that Randolph Stowe had written similarly also.<br />The esteemed editor then went on to tell me that said writer and Stowe spent time together. His advice was to keep writing, and that someday, someone else will sound a little like you.<br />By the way, I'm hearing shades of Herman Melville.Obedience https://www.blogger.com/profile/04095159718085362428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-64134500253673555782012-08-03T12:40:08.987+08:002012-08-03T12:40:08.987+08:00Cheers MF and Janine.
