All of the ideas are taken.

In Austin Kleon's book Steal Like an Artist, I was reminded of a something that creative folks tend to forget.   

Creative ideas are never completely original.  

Creativity is a synthesis of previously existing ideas translated and transformed into something new.  All ideas and things are part of an interdependent cycle.  I've found that the more I strive to be original or say something entirely new, the more I find myself cut off from inspiration.

I copy until I get better.  It can't help but be new or fresh because it's being filtered through my own experiences and perceptions.  

Every iteration is a step closer to a more authentic voice.
