I can so relate.

I started to write, happy that I'd finally settled on something, only to realize I'd basically ripped off the plot of Ghost.

Same. I'm struggling with Ghost story as a genre... did I rip off Sixth Sense? Or Field of Dreams? Or Ghost? or ....? ugh.

I've submitted a draft of my story to make sure I have one in there (just in case), but I'm waiting on some feedback from a couple friends before I consider it finalized.

500 words left to wrap up the story and it's nowhere near done. :/

You stole my process?  Rude!  Big smile

I finally figured out what my story was about.  That shouldn't imply the story was unknown, but they're never about what they seem to be about.

If that makes any sense.  Chaos is involved.

Guess it's time to actually write it.  A little Telemann and hammer away at the old Royal...

Not necessarily.  It's supposed to be a bit convoluted; think the remake of Italian Job, or the original Mission: Impossible TV series.

I don't mention the Mission: Impossible movies because those are just plain...bad.  Lazy writing.
