🌠 It’s okay to take inspiration from other works of fiction.

🌠 It’s okay to see a plot and decide to write your own take on it.

🌠 There is nothing wrong with writing works that are heavily inspired by other works.

🌠 Writing your own take on familiar story or characters is not plagiarism.

🌠 It’s not “uncreative” to want to work with ideas and characters that are meaningful to you.

🌠 Your voice and your writing are your own and no one else’s.

🌠 No one else will write a plot or characters the way you do.

🌠 Every act of writing is an act of creativity.

🌠 There is nothing wrong, bad, or “uncreative” about reusing plots, characters or ideas that have been used before.

🌠 When you write with familiar elements you add your own creativity to them whether you try to or not.

Shakespeare never had an original idea in his life.

It’s all about the execution, and always has been.

To quote Stephen Sondheim from Sunday in the Park with George:

“Stop worrying if your vision
Is new
Let others make that decision
They usually do
You keep moving on.”

Don’t let the worry of not being “fresh” or “original” keep you from creating.
