We are humans, and human imagination always resonates with one another. What does that supposed to mean? You saw a strange tree yesterday, now it’s in your book. You read a strange thing about time now it’s in a book. You saw your favorite character dying, now it’s in your book. In the end, you have accumulated… even accumulation itself in the book. No seriously, your brain is like a shelf, if you learn something new, it shoves the old thing back and puts the new things in front.
But what does it has to do with finding our own creative story?
Here’s a thing, tell me if I’m wrong. Have you read a fantasy story, where there is a dragon? Yeah…. If so, have you ever tried writing your own fantasy story but you can’t think much of the monster that is needed in that story, but dragons? Dragon, every time you think of a monster, it dragon… but why dragons? The hero can be the dragon… the villain can be the dragon…. Maybe the father… But then you read a new story with a goblin… now… your story has dragon and goblins…. Villain is the dragon and hero is the goblin… do you get it where it’s going?
Our imagination is limited to the information provided to our brain. Thinking out of the box is tough and for that, we have to do something, but what could it be? What could we do to not mimic other people’s work? Although, dragon and goblins stories are normal and if you have read too much about dragons and goblins. You know… yeah… here’s my advice, keeping this article short as much as possible. I will tell you simple things.
Reading other people's books isn’t the only source of finding your own imaginative story.
For Creative creature
For creating your own creative creature or monsters like dragons… the whole world is full of tales.
Read other people’s work but...
Yeah…. I mean it… if you want to learn how to write a good scene then yes, you have to read other people’s work. If you want to create your own amazing world with magical powers. In the end, you will have to read other people’s work. But… that way, you will have a well-created imagination and information… to create your story.
Struggle and finding.
If you're struggling with fighting scene, repetitive stuff. Here’s thing, open google and read documentary and other form of things. If you want to know different way to write your character betraying each other, watch some shows or scene and then try to combine and make your own single scene. This way you be able to have your own story….
