Embracing Unoriginality

I'm going to write a novel.
next month.


and I'm "borrowing" ideas from many things I've read/seen/heard of. and I don't care, because I've come to realize that creative writing is a lot more about creative execution than creative ideas.

This is the awesome thing about studying literature, that it all necessarily builds on itself, and that even though all the little pieces are unoriginal, the whole is kind of amazing.

And I'm slowly warming to the fact that the same can be true of anything I write. That's some awesome relief, yo.
