Reams of Drivel

Say someone writes a poem and it is mediocre. Skip the point of view for a minute that whether a poem is mediocre or not is an opinion. Say the poem IS mediocre.

But the author doesn't think so. What exactly is it that blinds the author to the fact the poem is mediocre? Does any mediocre author suddenly wake up and announce, oh my gosh, everything I write is mediocre! Does such a person understand the mediocrity factor unconsciously?

I know people who are writing reams of drivel.

But maybe I am, too. Are you?
