the fact that you want to be 'original' is probably stifling your 'originality'; you say you dont want to be derivitive and yet you are looking at what has come before in order to avoid it, and I highly doubt that you have the genius necessary to think in an entirely original way and give up the wealth of accumulated knowledge. Perhaps I would suggest reading up on some existentialism and learn how to think and why perhaps we think before you rush off on a wild goose chase of being original.
By attempting to be so original you are somehow denying your role in humanity (like it or not) and are thus feeling the conflicts of internal struggle, what you need to do is find something and get on its path, then see where that path takes you rather than trying to find an invisible and perhaps non-existent path that runs somewhere between all the others.
