Creativity doesn't limit itself to art. Apparently nobody fell for the link.
People can come up with something new. The first ever poets and painters had to start somewhere. Language had to start somewhere. These days, we have resources, we can learn techniques from those that already exist. But we can search for new things, or new ideas in other areas, then bring those into artistic form.
No one I know personally will read my writings anymore. I've been told it's all gibberish. And when they don't know any literary allusions or how to look at symbolism: it is gibberish.
