Hard to come up with something remotely original. Originality is mostly in execution, not in elements. Your elements could be considered piecemealing other ideas together, but until we see how they are working together, we can't truly know HOW original it is. Like, werewolves arent a new thing, but werewolves in the style of gritty detective novel turned poetry with stanzas and linebreaks and associative narrative movement is only ONE book: Sharp Teeth by Toby Barlow Neil Gaiman says something to the effect that only you can write the story you want, because YOU wrote it. I think that rings true too. We all bring our own experiences to writing, even if its a rehash of a classic Edited November 1, 2018 by Bouvre 1
