User blog comment:Anarchic Operations/Sources of Inspiration/@comment-27838637-20160618122246

I'd like to apologize to those who have been offended by the post. Perhaps I was a little too blunt and not concise enough with the blog post. I know taking inspiration from other works is a great idea, and I have done so myself. The main point of the OP was to state that I personally believe that the best inspirations come from the own writers minds. I can see how I may have come across as narrow minded, or arrogant, but that was not the intention. I simply wanted to encourage people to embrace their own ideas, as a story created from nothing but the mind, without drawing key pieces of inspiration from already established works is perhaps one of the best writing excercises one can undergo.

Personally, I wanted to delete the blog after a day or two, so I could rewrite it in a way that was clearer and more precise, but I'm afraid it was too late. I know that the blog has become a little controversial, and I apologize for that.

A_O.
