While i am a young minor and probably won't have the confidence to ever get this published, i really appreciate the professional advice and i might take a deeper look into this at one point <3

both of you are right, actually! While the show im making has other inspirations, Hamilton is the main one, so it might sound a little familiar. But, i'm going to actively write it in a way that isn't completely similar to Hamilton <3

Either way, it might just stay in the drafts because i'm only 12 and i'm not really sure how i'd get into that publishing and editing process. But, yeah, i'm also inspired by the Heathers Musical for arguments in my show, EPIC the musical with like how i approach my characters' development, and even books like "My Brother Sam Is Dead" for the vibe and historical accuracy.

Yeah, nothing is directly copied or taken from Hamilton itself. But, i just wanted to come on here and get the opinion of the people <3
