Enzie,
That thin line is ever present. I think it exists in every discipline, from Architecture to wind surfing. The very few that successfully cross the line are revered, most just get shot down.
I think Leighton's advice is good, you should just follow where your mind and heart lead you and be sincere. If we are constantly checking ourselves against some existing yardstick we'll just end up lopping off some body part. The sum of it is much to complicated to absorb, and I tend to over think matters. I think sincerity is as good a path as any.
