An artist friend of mine once told me that there are no new ideas – just new arrangements of old ideas. I find this to be true. Much of the most “clever” writing I have done has been, in part, stolen from someone else. Stolen from or inspired by? Thin line.
Some greats I have ripped-off include: Mark Twain, Aristotle, and most recently God. Yes, God. I actually penned some copy that opens with “In the beginning there was [client name]…” (In my defense this goes REALLY well with the concepts developed by the creative firm, which are all about creation. )
Shall I list the reasons I am most likely to burn in hell? There are plenty already. Now there are plenty + 1.
