Don’t listen to people.  Don’t go to workshops.  Don’t go to school.  The last thing you want is to unlearn everything that is original.  Forget fundamentals.  Forget mores. Forget what you were taught you ought not to forget.

So much of our surrounding is a repetition of another.  Little do we know that in the process of creation, we confiscate or borrow without consent or knowledge.  When do we know that a material is not borrowed when there are many occurrences around the world that spark spontaneously?  It may not have been published anywhere, but as long as you were first to do so, we tend to ask ourselves how wrong could it be?  The thought of it would make Ayn Rand shake her homophobic head.

As I write, I do so with so much trepidation.  What’s so new to write about anyway?
