just because you take a part of something you've seen, read or liked doesn't mean that it will end up as an imitation. you can take parts you've liked from several pieces and combine them into a single creation. then there's an influence but not an imitation.

"I don't have the determination or the confidence to write. To do anything that involves putting something I've done, something I think is nice, out where other people might tell me it's not nice." no risk, no reward. no one's gotten far from sitting back and watching. you should do whatever it is you want to, and the only opinions that matter are the one's that are positive and/or helpful. i feel like a hippocrite (sp?) though, because i lack the same confidence... anyway, i'm done rambling.
