As for origi...What? We whine a lot? No, never! <br /><br />As for originality, it's all in how you tell the tale. Look at the movie Avatar. It's Dances With Wolves dressed in sheep's clothing. Yet it was extolled as being so unique and original. Nah, not so much. But with the all the characters dressed up differently, you barely notice. So just go ahead and tell your story.<br /><br />Good post, Tara!Nancy Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735642863696266005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502176161456143914.post-1426065307220372032012-01-04T20:38:20.466-05:002012-01-04T20:38:20.466-05:00"Kind words will always win out"
