You are viewing a single comment's thread:
T.S. Eliot said: "Mature poets steal."
I say: Good writers plunder with purpose.
I just published a new piece on why I shamelessly steal from every genre—and how you can do it without losing your voice.

“Every artist is a cannibal/every poet is a thief/all kill for inspiration/and then sing about the grief.”
― Bono
I love Bono. Cool quote.
I never really see myself stealing. Of course I’m influenced but by the time I share something I like when the influences are so mixed and played with that you can hardly tell what they are
That's the gist of the idea. :-)
