 #WritersCoffeeClub Have you ever seen a TV show or movie so close to one of your ideas you wished you'd written it?

No. I’ve seen similar tropes and character arcs played out, but when ideas are in your head you’re brain is looking out for them in reality (bit like when you buy something new and then notice everyone else has already got one). 

I wrote a story with a found family character arc about a man and younger woman. Then The Last of Us and Witcher games/tv shows made that arc popular.
