I have a friend who is struggling with Writer's block. Specifically, he feels that he cannot write anything without looking at other people's work and using it as a guide for his narrative writing. I tell him this is normal and perfectly acceptable, but he has a hard time accepting it, feeling that he has no talent because of this.
If anyone has experience of this, or can offer any advice or guidance on this issue, I would appreciate it. Anything that can make him see that it is not a failure on his part would go a long way.
Thank you.
