-All writers are influenced by what we read, whether conscious or unconscious. For example, my writing style takes several cues from Terry Pratchett, sometimes very deliberately.[1] And there are no doubt countless unconscious influences feeding into my life in ways I don’t even realise.

-So in that sense I am in no way original. But in that same sense, it doesn’t **matter**.
-
-Stealing’s no good.[2] But remixing is — has always been, will always *be* — the foundation of creativity.
-
-Creativity is naturally cyclical. Readers write, and writers read. After all, there are only three[5] plots.
-
-It’s not just writing. Everyone is influenced by everything. Our imagination isn’t entirely our own — all media that we consume, all experiences that we have, every last thing that we see — gets thrown into one pot. Much like a baking recipe, the blend is original although the ingredients are not.

-Accepting the art of the remix is the first step on the journey to finding a voice **— YOUR** **voice**. Your personal experience (original by nature) will blend into everything else that shapes us as people, all those influences known and unknown.
