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.
