I think you can find influence in anything... But I sometimes if it's possible to be influenced in advance. Now the story I'm currently working on is a bit of fantasy. It's probably also going to be really bad. But hey it's for reading out loud and no one can "see" the prose. It's also the one idea I feel most confident about writing right now. Anyway so it turns out it's a bit of a mash up of two Neil Gaiman stories. The first being Stardust (saw the it for the first time this weekend) and the second being Preludes and Nocturnes (which I also re-read this weekend). I planned this story out over the last three weeks. Go figure. Over-active imagination or some kind of pre-cognitive ability? You decide!
