Avoid writing stuff that’s derivative

The experience of playing piano as a child and delving into music as a teenager has influenced the approach to writing. The emphasis is on creating a unique style rather than producing derivative work that emulates existing artists or patterns. This drive for originality is likened to the path taken by successful film scorers and famous bands, who carve out their distinctive sound instead of replicating established norms. The challenge lies in deviating from common patterns without compromising quality. This philosophy extends to writing, wherein the focus is on avoiding cliched phrases and figures of speech, preferring a more distinctive and colloquial style even if it may not be as conventionally well-crafted as some other writing.
