As avant-garde of a composer as Stravinsky was, even he stated: "Well, in art as in everything else, one can build only upon a resisting foundation: whatever constantly gives way to pressure, constantly renders movement impossible. My freedom thus consists in my moving about within the narrow frame that I have assigned myself for each one of my undertakings. I shall go even further: my freedom will be so much the greater and more meaningful the more narrowly I limit my field of action and the more I surround myself with obstacles. Whatever diminishes constraint, diminishes strength. The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one's self of the chains that shackle the spirit." Foundations aren't particularly interesting, and they certainly aren't original. However, without a solid foundation, there is no building. Good video, bud!

The adage: learn to write by writing applies. Yes it will likely be sub par for a great while, but when you have learned the ropes somewhat you then know even what the trite stuff is to innovate away from.
@ there's an interview with David Foster Wallace talking about when he went to Harvard for a PhD writing program, and he was angry because his professors didn't like his work and he thought that he was just very avant-garde and they were backward. And then he pauses and says, "but no, they were right. My work was awful then."
Take Quentin Tarantino as an example. Make what u want.not wut they want. Get out of ur comfort zone. Throw sum salt on them haters. They don know shiiieee
