Telling the Story Your Own Way

Most of the stories we love are someone else’s version of a story that inspired them.

Sometimes it’s nearly an exact remake – Thanos and Darkseid, for example.

Sometimes it’s a reinterpretation – The Lion King is Hamlet.

Sometimes it’s a fusion of many stories told in a your way.

Creativity isn’t about originality. That’s a myth that stops people from starting.

True creativity is taking the stories that shaped you and telling them through your own lens: with your life, your style, your way of seeing the world.

People may like it or not, but it’ll be yours.

And that’s what makes it worth telling.
