Title. I’ve been doing a bit of world building for this book I’m working on and I can’t help but feel that all my ideas I come up with are either too unoriginal or have been done better by a different writer. I feel like I just take my favorite parts of different stories and just merge it into one big clusterfuck. I’ve read online that it’s normal to feel that way as a beginning writer but I just can’t shake the feeling that I’m not being original enough.
