Most everything I write about or think about is just a synthesis of inspiration from other sources/people/ideas. I have very few (if any) truly original ideas. I have been trying to think of a good way recently to give credit where credit is due without cluttering up my writing with all sorts of contextual information. To do this, I’ve decided to start putting a short list of inspirations after posts.

The types of things I will most likely just put links to articles, ideas, people, and places that served as inspiration. For offline inspiration, I’ll probably just figure out some way to do a shout-out to those involved in the inspiration. Kind of like a ghetto bibliography. This way I can track my sources of inspiration for my own purposes as well as give readers access to information they may find helpful, while giving a simple thank you to everything/one that inspires me.
