It All Starts with Bread

If you lack creative ideas, you can borrow from others and add your own insights. The book I'm currently writing feels like pure fantasy, purely for my own amusement. If a book can only be appreciated by the author, it's probably a diary, not a novel. The author could spend a month or two reading *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*, *Journey to the West*, *Gotham*, or *Shameless*; after that, inspiration might come.
