Nothing is Original (And That's Beautiful)

  Infodump #5: Where It All Comes From

I've had a lot of influences when it comes to writing this, the biggest ones however fit into two categories. The first is life experience/upbringing, the second is media I've consumed, (books, youtube videos, movies, shows)

For examples of the first's impact on the story, I'd really rather not go into it at the moment, I'm still recovering from a very controlling and harsh environment, but you can certainly get context clues from the book if you'd like. 

NOW, for the second category, I can go into things that I'm actually excited for people to maybe notice in my writing. (note: these aren't my inspiration, but they might give some context on why I frame things the way I do and/or the message I'm trying to/subconsciously getting across)

Does it look overwhelming? That's because it is! I was exhausted just writing it, please do not feel like you have to slog through this.
