Has this plot been mentioned before?

When I think of a therapy patient relationship I think of, What about Bob.

 

I wouldn't worry if it's been done before. You should write about what feels right for you and your adaptation, if similar to another's work, will still be unique.

 

Great movie! lol

 

Lol that is actually funny, haha!

 

Ok I will do that, currently I am outlining the novel right now.

 

The plot is unlikely to be unique if you boil it down past the surface. "Person stalks other person with intent to kill them". This isn't a criticism; I'm just saying that the premise is one that I've seen in movies like Scream, where the killer is related to the victim in some way, and has left them clues or letters or something to that effect and it's all supposed to be ratcheting up to this big climactic moment.

What's more likely to be unique *are* the surface elements; the fact that it's a therapist and their own patient. Your twist on it, so to speak, as told with your own authorial voice. But the basic elements and premise of the plot are as old as storytelling.

 

I see, ok that makes sense, thanks for your thoughts, I just wanted to write something that would capture the imagination or at least be a page turner.
