How to make unique stories worth reading?
I'm frankly not much of a writer, I'm far more of an artist, but something's been bothering me for months at this point. How do you create truly unique tales? I feel like every concept I create is a chewed up and apart out mix of other media. Even when I create concepts, I can never tie a story to it. I love vampires but I feel like there's nothing I can do that's new with them. I want something new, that's special to me. I don't want something that's just fun to create I need something special. I just don't know how to create that. I sit and sit and sit in silence in the dark waiting for that lightbulb moment but all I get is more darkness.
How do I create a truly unique idea, or is it just not possible?
