Agreed. When it comes to books and writing there are the raw ingrediants. I think it all comes down to how someone explains it, for another person to better relate to a teaching style. It's all the same information presented in various ways. For many of the books I read, I see strong influences of John Truby, Sol Stein, Donald Maass, Stephen King etc.
At this point we're not going to re-invent the wheel. It's a matter of helping others to understand how to use this information and material in a way they undestand and enables them to put it into practice and create something they can be proud of.
Jennie, this was encouraging. Though I can neither eat cake nor pasta, I get the reference. It makes sense: each of us is invited to a seat at the creative table. Each has something to contribute that may overlap in some ways with another person, but no one can replicate who we are and what fuels our story, our work, our passions.
I truly believe that every human brings what ONLY they can bring to the world--something that has never been done before and will never be done again. Great reminder of that today. Thank you!
Wonderful post, Jennie. For me, the concept is somehow linked to the idea of scarcity and abundance. Ideas are not part of a zero-sum universe—they are abundant. It's hard to claim and own them, only to give treat them genuinely and set them out in the world. Thanks for all you do.
All the respect in the world for you and what you’re doing, Jennie, and how you’re doing it.
Wow that is so sweet of you to say!🙏

Ha -- I can't eat cake or pasta either!

So well said!
