The Detective's Journey: A Free Verse Essay on Creative Inspiration and Originality

From the mind behind SS Reed's Story Fiction comes an essay exploring what it truly means for a creative to take inspiration and be original. Everyone knows Sherlock Holmes as the world's greatest detective. He inspired a whole new generation of great detectives in fiction. But who inspired Holmes, and how? For that matter, how did those inspired by Holmes take the idea and make it their own? Join us as we journey across nearly 200 years of creative history, from the early 19th century to the early 21st century. From America to Britian to France and even Japan. Watch as one storyteller mixes, matches, and plays with the idea in their own unique way that inspires others. Then watch as they pass the baton to someone new. In a time where every creative asks what it means to be original, this book answers the question by following in the footsteps of one of the most iconic character archetypes of all time.
