Where does one begin? I guess it all starts with an idea, something that is itching to jump out of your brain, through your fingertips, and onto the screen. Or perhaps it takes a lot of prodding and coercing to get that reluctant (yet brilliant of course) idea out of your head. Should it have a purpose, incite action or passion in others, or answer age-old questions? Ideas aren't always as brilliant as one thinks they are, they are usually, if not always, much more brilliant than we give ourselves credit for. Yes, I said it - ideas, mine and yours alike, are brilliant.
We must not get bogged down in the "it's been done/said before" rut; rather, we must understand that we can shed new and glorious light on remarks of the past, bringing forth new meaning and/or re-popularize ideas. The thoughts that run through our heads all day long are ordinary to us, because we are used to them, but they have the potential of being far from ordinary for anybody else. They even have the potential to be so "ordinary" that they become extraordinary when expressed.
