Continuing the subject of ideas from my last post,
the theory is that there are only a small number of stories to be told - the
children’s writing centre on Tyneside, here in the North East of England, is
called Seven Stories because that is the number of children’s stories,
apparently.
It is the same theory as racehorses - that ever
racehorse in the world is related to just three bloodlines.
What makes writing endlessly fascinating is the
way writers take those stories and tell and re-tell them, infusing them with
their own passions and style, giving them their own original twists and their
own personal insight.
