Episode description

If you've ever found yourself being terrified by your blank canvas, then you're not alone. Beginning from nothing is tough. Naturally, you often return to your sources of inspiration so that you can find a point of departure. However, if it becomes too noticeable who you're pulling from, then you're equally crippled with new anxiety. 

Navigating the boundaries between inspiration and plagiarism are quite difficult. The good news, however, is that there are some specific ways to overcome this feeling ultimately helping you:

  • Study your craft more effectively
  • Understand exactly what you are pulling from in terms of inspiration
  • Capture the framework that made these precedents inspirational without outright mimicry
