first and last bump

Jot down the main points and string it from there. Try working bottom to top.

Dont worry about cheating, because it only makes you constantly doubt yourself, realise that by existing today you are technicaly cheating.

Whatever you write will have it's unique perspective even if you try to copy someone.

A good author isn't afraid of making his idea known because he knows that no one will be able to execute it like himself.

that will come with age eventually

Something to try is write a bunch. It sounds kind of new age or whatever, but just write a fuck ton. Just like any other skill you have to practice it, and so maybe it sounds like garbage so just keep writing about it, don't backspace or erase, just keep writing new ways to articulate your idea, and eventually one will come out and it'll sound good.
