Noun
A condition suffered by writers and creators, making them view their current work as a masterpiece in the making, despite them not having the required expertise.
This delusion often leads to the work being loaded with excessive seriousness, shallow philosophical rhetoric, and oversized themes it has not earned. The result is a work that insists on its own importance, framing ordinary material as profound and universal.
