I just watched this video:
In it, Elizabeth Gilbert, suggests that the creative "genius" is something that we all have - it's a divine visitor. And like visitors do, the "genius" comes and it goes.
And so...
whilst feeling myself move through incredibly dark spaces, often, in this final leg of the PhD writing process
when I find myself
in the pits of despair
when I feel like dumping this project
I'll remember to
Talk to the open air
and say
listen you thing
if this PhD isn't brilliant
then it is not entirely my fault because
I show up for work every day
and do my bit
but
you gotta do your bit too
:o)
