Ugh...I feel so unoriginal

Since my own blog is compromised for the moment due to server changes, I will use this one to wage my war on the written word: I feel so unoriginal.... Tonight's episode of SVU literally took a page from a fanfic I was planning on writing and the previews for next week's episode make me want to burst into tears. I have been writing this story for weeks and next week's SVU practically is what I have been writing.

I suppose the show's writers will do a much better job on it than I will, but I still cannot help but feel this dark, fathom of depression seep over me when I come to realization that there really is nothing new under the sun. There really is nothing that I can create that has not been previously done. It is simply an ever-present weight that bears down on this aspiring writer each time my originality turns into the strikingly mundane. I will write my SVU fanfic just for the sake of doing it, but now I know it will just seem so utterly unoriginal. Blech...it is the worst feeling in the world and this is normally when I am happily running on my SVU "high" which usually carries me into the next week. ...sigh...
