How to Be TRULY Original

Описание: What if I told you the best way to write something original is to copy other writers? I call it: imitate then innovate.

In general, creators spend much less time imitating their heroes than they do trying to make something new. I call it the Originality Disease — a pervasive plague that makes creators feel scared to imitate other people’s styles.

The problem may be worst among writers, who speak about their craft with levels of mystery that are usually reserved for the numinous. Writers would be smart to learn from other fields, though.

WHO AM I?
