Slightly disheartened that I came across www.ihavewritersblog.com today. A website with MY blog name!
I think I just understood for the first time what my darling artist sister experiences pretty much every hour of the day with major companies publishing work that looks alarmingly (to me) like her unique, stylized art. You think you're carving a space for yourself being creative, but people are always on your heels. I'm not creative very often, so it's not something I usually deal with. It happens sometimes with fashion. I dress so weird that when someone dresses like me it stands out (see also: Skirt-over-pants, 1997).
I'd probably write him a Passive/Aggressive Lilly Letter(R), but he's an aspiring writer, and God knows it's the one population I have a weak spot for, so I'll let him be.
The good news is whoever bought the website eventual succumbed to the self-titled issue; he just wrote a few posts, and then left. A quick skim of the website tells me he wrote fan letters to Carol Burnett (whereas I wrote them to Jason Priestly). Other than that, we aren't very similar, so don't be confused. Accept no substitutes! The Original! The one and only! Basically if you hit a website and it's not talking about the wilderness of dating, the misbehavior of other people, or useless pop culture, you have been FAKEROLLED!
Getting the website and abandoning it? The horror. It's like salt in the wound.
It's one thing to take my cute little handle, another to not even do it justice! LE SIIIIIIIIGH.
Ok, I feel better now.

wow, i'm angry about the blatant rip off of your sister's art. it's funny how copycats are always worse, too. sue their asses.
on the other hand, 'i have writers blog' and skirts over pants aren't very unique. sorry.
i still love your writing!
I think you should own anything "I have writer's blog" related. Esp if they don't update their blog, like at all. Plus they aren't good, like at all.
