New thought that makes me feel a little better eh: I am actually creative, though I can't just come up with a silly two-minute "everyone's speaking Chinese to this kid, but at the end [ironic trombone noises] it turns out he doesn't even speak Chinese" idea like John can. I develop deep rather than wide; ideas fit easier into a character I've already developed than just making characters up on the spot.
When doing Persistence of Memory w/ K, they were able to crank out backstories on the ensemble cast like it was already all pre-imagined or something, while my backstories were slow in coming forth, developing drip by drip.
