    Your first draft isn’t an unoriginal idea expressed clearly; it’s an original idea expressed poorly

    I like this a lot. I’m going to thieve it.

      Tangentially related, the easiest way to come up with a unique and cool idea is to come up with a unique and dumb idea (which is way easier) and then work on it until it becomes cool. (Think how dumb some popular franchises concepts are if you take the raw idea out of context.)
