I noticed a similarity between a recent news story and a
script I wrote years ago and had abandoned.
I upgraded my computer from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 this
week, and spent the rest of the week fixing the problems that created. I didn't
get anything done on "Felix".
That left me with nothing to talk about in my blog, so I thought back to an old
script.
Back in 2010, I wrote a script that I called "My Detective Story". Not a great
title I admit. I meant to go back to it, but after a while I decided to abandon
it.
Nevertheless, from time to time I do think about it.
Although, overall, I am not happy with it, it does have some good ideas. I often
wonder if I should have another go at it. I think I have learnt more about
writing since then and could do a better job of it.
The central idea of the story is that a very important person commits a crime. A lowlife happens to make a
video of the crime. The detective learns about the video and for the rest of
the story he tries to get it.
I was struck by the similarities
to the case a certain Canadian mayor. Do you think I can sue for plagiarism?
