For me, it’s weird because when I took art in high school, I could never come up with an original design when it came to drawing. I always had to copy an image because art doesn’t come to my mind naturally; I just can’t create a new image out of thin air. However, I can build new worlds, create new people and spin a story with just the barest hint of inspiration. So while I can’t create something physical that anyone can see, I can make people imagine a place that doesn’t exist yet with just words printed on paper. I can cause them to visualize new worlds.
