Inspiration
Writing something good and original is very difficult. Many people find it easier to riff off examples and similar work. As Jobs said, quoting Picasso, good artists copy; great artists steal. Whilst copying wholesale from a single source is blatant plagarism, copying from multiple sources across time, space, and mediums is true research.
For your convenience, we’ve collated a short list of possible sources of inspiration to help you get started writing.
