Literary Perception

"If literature dies, so dies Innovation"

Literature is a form of creative writing wherein the author's thought are expressed in such a way that it will have an impact to the reader. The writers continues to think of ways, styles, techniques and methodologies on how to create literary works. And that statement in short is "writers continuously innovates literature". And that I believe is true. Literature is partly realistic and partly imaginative. Reality + Imagination = Innovation. I believe literary works instigates innovation. Nobody could ever introduce something new without having a basis, for it won't be new if it was the same as the other. The impact that literary works leave to it's reader brings about realization, and in the end, will lead to the development and creation of an innovation. Let literature be vanish and witness as innovation follows it. The formula of innovation will never be complete. Can't think of something that can be substituted to the formula, aside form literature itself.
