UGHHH SO PRETYYYY
I’m worried that I’m not very good at coming up with original ideas. A lot of the story ideas I have are very similar to other stories I’ve read, and I often have a hard time even thinking of plot points if I haven’t seen something like them used before. I know some people say that a lot of creativity is using things from other sources that you like, but I think I go a little too far with it. Do you have any advice for being more original?
This problem comes from overthinking. Kind of. The thing about the word “original” that bugs me is that people think it means “never seen before”, but that’s not how it should be perceived by an artist or a writer. Original should mean “seen again in a different way” because honestly, there are no new ideas; there are only twisted ones. Creativity isn’t using things from other art, it’s changing them. If you want to write a science fiction story that takes place on a spaceship in the far depths of the galaxy, go right ahead, but the aspects you mirror from other fiction should be tweaked to be your own, rather than a reflection of another author’s interpretation of these devices.
For instance, I’m writing a superhero story that has a lot of similarities to the Marvel comics, but there’s a lot of things I’ve changed or elaborated more on than the comic series did when it comes to what a world with superheroes would look like. I focus on different what ifs and different struggles of characters in these circumstances, and though it’s easy to see where my inspiration came from, it’s clearly a very different story that I would classify as original.
Original is an often misunderstood word in art, but hopefully this explanation will contribute toward a less constricting mindset, and give you new ideas toward your own work.

with your host (and contestant) me!
(someone please tell me i need to know)
i might just not log my 100 dop on here anymore. the stress of having to do all of it and my work and everything is too much for me. i know it doesn't sound like a lot but it is for me. i am going on an indefinite hiatus, i might reblog occasionally. thanks for reading, and stuff!
Things to do in quarantine (other than writing)
Make long, drawn out descriptions of your characters
Create moodboards, playlists, art, or anything else to do with your WIP
Write a dumb au- just for yourself. No deadline, no pressure of quality. Just write.
Figure out the perfect circumstances to write- do you like to drink coffee? Tea? Table, or lap? Music, TV, silence? Try out new things, too!
Clean up your workspace, if you have one. Decorate it. Make it home.
Go for a walk and listen to your muse playlist.
Try to cosplay one of your characters, no matter what you have at home.
Understand your MC better. Imagine them in quarantine- what's their favourite food? Their favourite music? Their favourite pastime? How do they sleep? How do they clean?
Make a shitty rendition of something from your story. Build a character from clay. Sew someone's outfit from scratch. Make a prop from tinfoil. Recreate a room with Lego.
Have stupid fun! Get to know the world of your story, get stuck in Wikipedia holes, scroll shopping websites for hours.
Just have fun, and feel happy knowing it'll help your world, even if you're struggling.
What we need right now is entertainment. Not stress.
Day 15/May 15: SPA NIGHT!!!
I decided to relax a bit. So I changed into something comfy and did my skincare routine. Then I got a snack and watched some of my favourite youtubers. I did my hair a bit too.
If that isn't enough for you, some other ideas can be to:
Get a massage tool
Put on a face mask
Stretch a bit
Sleep early/take a nap
Take a bubble bath

Day 14/May 14: Make some pottery!
uhhh I kind of did this? I took some pottery clay and made a little mushroom! It was a bit difficult since the clay was like, half dry. But I put it in some water and kept chopping it up!
After it dried I painted it like those red mushrooms with white spots. Then I put some Mod-Podge (gloss) on it, and ended up placing it in my mini fairy garden! It looks so cute to the left of the house in my opinion.

Day 13/May 13: Make a fairy garden!
This one took longer than a day, but I was and still am proud of making it.
I bought a clear fish bowl from Dollarama (but a mason jar works fine too!), grabbed some coloured sand I had lying around and poured it in.
Then I took apart one of those fake flowers (mine was a sunflower), and placed it on the side. I hot glued and painted a little house together using popsicle sticks and put it beside the sunflower, near the center.
After that, I took some coloured rocks and placed them into a sort of pathway!

Day 12/May 12: Yoga!
Simple enough: I got out my yoga mat, grabbed my phone, searched a 10 minute yoga video, and pressed play!
I did a few child poses, halfway lift, mountain poses, etc! If you're interested, here's the link:

Day 11/May 11: Read a book (at least one chapter)
The book I read was called 'Anything but Okay' by Sarah Darer Littman. I began reading it at school and brought it home. The story is about a girl name Stella who started running for class president, but after her brother, Rob; who recently returned from the military; gets in trouble defending a Sikh kid, her chances dwindle. Soon, best friend Farida is dragged into the mess.
I love this story because it deals with social justice issues. Mainly racism but there is a chapter about sexism too.
(spoiler alert from here on out!!!)
I ended up reading two chapters; 13 and 14.
Chapter 13
Stella loses, but she does get 2nd place so it isn't a complete loss.
She thinks about joining the school paper since she can't be class prez.
She wants to hang out with Farida but can't because there's a ton of business at her parents restaurant (which is good bc earlier in the story they were being harassed (is that the word?) for being Muslim)
Sad times. Stella watches a movie and eats some ice cream since she can't hang w/ Farida. Adam (her boyfriend *eye roll*) hangs out instead.
He suggests volunteering to campaign for Jack Witham, the rival of Mayor Abbot, who is the main reason that Stella's brother is in trouble in the first place.
Speaking of her brother, he talks to his university counsellor about the whole situation, and she advises going to a group therapy session with a ton of other veterans.
Chapter 14
Stella + her family decide to do a plea bargain (for Rob) the Monday after the governor election.
Stella tells her family about the whole campaign situation, Rob says how he's always worse than Stella and stuff, an fight (not physical) breaks out, things were said, Stella rushes to her room to consult Farida.
The two talk, Rob comes in and apologises to Stella.
Then those two talk about how life is unfair and stuff, then Rob leaves.
Rob is doing well in the therapy group by the way.
(Not about the chapters, just my opinion on the book so far:)
One thing I don't like about the book is Adam, aka the love interest/soon-to-be-boyfriend. I find his character useless as he doesn't give any depth or plot to the story at all. Like they're talking about how racism is bad, and how we shouldn't sexualise minors, and then in between Stella is just like "ʷ⁻ʷᵉʷˡ 👉👈 ʰᶦˢʰ ᵈᶦᵐᵖʷᵉˢ 🙇 ᵃʷ ᵖʷᵉᵗᵗʸ ᶜᵘᵗᵉ 🦋🦋ᵘʷᵘ🥺👉👈"
I did end up shipping Stella with someone else because I dislike Adam so much. I won't say who it is yet because he's actually a complete jerk until you learn about his 🤽deep 📖backstory™️ in chapter 12. The character development was rushed, I will admit. But I still like this ship better. Maybe I just don't like the fact that Stella told Adam (her crush/someone she barely knows) before Farida (her BEST FRIEND who she's known for YEARS), maybe it's maybelline. Who knows. I don't.

Day 10/May 10 - Write a paragraph of my book
If you have an essay you can write a paragraph of that instead!
I was supposed to do the sewing today and the writing yesterday, but I switched it.
I am writing a book! It's called "How To Write A Love Letter", clearly it's a romance. Teen/Middle school romance. I was supposed to complete it for NaNoWriMo but clearly, if you couldn't tell by the date, I didn't complete it.
So I wrote 444 words today! Apparently a paragraph is about 250, so I did pretty good!
The checklist said only one paragraph/250 words but that was just the minimum. Also I was feeling creative so I wrote more than was necessary, feeling pretty good!
I want to try and make this a daily/bi-weekly thing. "One paragraph per day" sound like a nice way to finish my book by next year. But I suck at estimations and don't know the amount of paragraphs in however many chapters left so it might not be that much.
I guess you can say I'm an ✨ o v e r - a c h i e v e r ✨
This and like, two other chapters are the only chapters in present-tense + first person so it was a cool experience! I don't really like writing in first person so it was a bit challenging. I naturally write in third person so I kept accidentally switching.
The scene was about the main character waking up early and walking to her friend's house before school. She passes her friend's house on accident and runs back to greet her. I ended it there, haha.
If you could give me any advice on writing this, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!
