Creative process

These past few days I have been stuck at a crucial point at chapter 2. You may wonder how it could be a crucial point that early at the book, but it was important for the character definition of my lead character.
I have been juggling around ideas for days and whenever I came up with something I ended up remembering the have read something similar in another book or have seen it in a movie and therefore I started thinking of something else.
Although I have read some books and seen a couple of movies it may still be less then 0,0001 % of what humanity has created. I then wonder is it possible that we have run out ideas? Millions of people over roughly 7000 years of humanity writing music, writing books and painting. Is it possible that everything has already been done at one point? No!
When people ask why I right, especially when I am writing fantasy, I say: Because everything is possible! In my mind everything is possible and I can create the most amazing things. For me this is the true beauty of being creative. You are not bound by anything like money, time, law, fisics....
And to conclude this post: Yes, I have found my character detail and I have never read or seen something similar. :)
Next week I will post some of my short stories here and I hope you will enjoy them.
