further with Mayhew's statement. I grok that balance between genius and fraud, tho I wouldn't put it in those terms. one feels like a genius because one has a purpose, and that purpose feels original. one feels like a fraud because one can't match one's ideals, meaning both those artists who came before and that vision in the head. taking too much and not enough credit simultaneously. Mayhew's terms sound so Charlton Heston. children create all the time without these boundaries. as wise adults, we think too much. genius occurs when we free ourselves from those wise boundaries, fraudulence sets in when we formalize that freeing.
