Worry about being original or "first" and you will end up being paralyzed. Art is an expression, not academic research.

I agree with everything except with the "academic research" part - similar to art, science is not a zero-sum game! One person winning does not mean that everyone else is losing. Maybe it seems that way because of the way science is funded (researchers as well as artists compete for limited funding) but in the grand scheme of things, more knowledge sooner is always better for everyone, regardless of who got there first.

I meant more in the context of having to always quote the original source of the idea or fact you are referring to, even if it was independently discovered (or verified) by you.

But good point 👍
