Don't Worry About Being Original

from How to Write Good · host Daniel Poppie

Originality. Is it something that we should seek to achieve when we write. Mark Twain doesn't think we should worry. In fact, he said something to the effect that all writing is derivative, so you should not worry about whether yours is as well. Now, is this good advice to follow. Today on How to Write good, we are going to dive into why you don't need to reinvent the wheel, you don't need to try to find that one idea that will break someone's skull open. On this episode of How to Write Good, we are going to be talking about how it is okay to not be original.
