The other day i freaked out and realised that my creative writing is complete crap... it was about a bird loosing its way home. Anyways... so i created a new peice where a person is murdered in the end and i decided to use a structure where you see a glimpse of the murder at the start then it loops back around at the end. This structure i had seen before in a variety of sample texts.
I showed my work to my friends and a couple of them replied that they had seen a text similiar making reference to the structure and the interaction between the two characters. Considering I had never seen this text would i get pulled up for some kind of plageristic act?
Should i change my writing to avoid these things?
