When NaNoWriMo Becomes Pathological | Clarissa's Blog
The idea that we all have a little genius inside of us just waiting for the right moment to break out is a self-indulgent notion that was perpetuated back in the 80s. I think it has almost run its course, although in the meantime, it has been used to run a lot of self-help industries and to curtail the power of teachers: "How dare she speak in that way to my little Johnny, who seems like a lazy person to outsiders, but after all could be a genius in the making?"
Liberation from this madness consists in a return to the aesthetics of ordinariness.
