Writing Karma, part 2

I just spent a few minutes trying to find the post where I'd mentioned how I swear some writing topics & ideas are synergistic, meaning several people write about them in a close timeframe. It's happened to me before, and it's just happened to me again. (I can't find the post but I'm going to bore you with my story anyway!)

Maybe this one wasn't karmic in nature. I like to think it was my intellect as a writer coming to the surface before someone else (whom I admire) wrote a similar article.

I'm a huge, huge fan of Chris Bibey's Freelance Writing blog, so imagine my surprise when I hopped over for a dose and found a post (almost eerily) similar to a two-article series I just finished for the Writer2Writer.com ezine this month. Same topic, same advice (though mine spans two columns). Wild!

Check it out for yourself and tell me how crazy this is:

Tell me that's not a little bit funky!

I just hope no one is working on a novel with my unique theme...
