This hit me a few years back I haven't been able to implement it well. The idea here is that I'm admitting to my own limitations of knowledge and experiences and imagination, mind you this is a good thing
I have a bookshelf of books that I've been reading and they've inspired my mindset as well as not just the books I've also in my workspace had training which has inspired me I'm like that's a great idea now the idea here is to take me for instance Zulu shaman which is a book written by someone posing as an original offer for another great work which is like the Iliad written by Homer but for Africans
So, I would take this book in this case the Zulu shade and it's describing a magic system as well as magic practitioners and then I would use this to fuel my writing with substance. I'm not the only one who's done this the author of Naruto also did this hence you'll see Japanese mythology there it's not just made-up of the spin of his head there's only so much one person can do with the limited experience they have especially from a young age and imagination can only go so far unless you're possessed unless you are really a reincarnate of your past and you can only pass off anything you say as ohh it was imagination it doesn't make sense that you would just have that information off the pad
Long story short I'm taking my own experiences my own information my own personality dictated by my past fueling that currently now into my present writing so that in future I can have good books book good characters good worlds meetings good geography good history settings good politics good societies I'm trying to make sure I write a better work by confessing that I'm not the best author in the world
In doing so I'll be a better writer for it and there is a great proverb for this slow equals smooth equals fast, but slow cannot be fast. As many of you guessed that just means it's step by step I can't just rush into being a headliner in the news it's step by step and I've taken 8 years so far and I've confessed that not all of them were great years but they were the years that caught me here and they're going to take me further uh
