How can you tell a creative project is authentic or imitative?
Ive been “creating” for basically my whole life but I worry that everything I’ve ever made has been an imitation. Ive been experimenting with my media diet and it deeply impacts what I’m inspired to create.
For example, i’ve been watching a new genre of YouTube videos, and now I find myself wanting to create videos in that genre and stopping the channel I dedicated to another genre.
I was journaling recently, and wrote about it, saying that passion for a creative project is like a flame and must be tended to. Would you say this is an accurate analogy for thinking about passion and motivation related to creativity?
