DFW had a nice take on this phenomenon:

From Infinite Jest: "What’s interesting to Hal Incandenza about his take on Struck, sometimes Pemulis, Evan Ingersoll, et al. is that congenital plagiarists put so much more work into camouflaging their plagiarism than it would take just to write up an assignment from conceptual scratch. It usually seems like plagiarists aren't lazy so much as kind of navigationally insecure. They have trouble navigating without a detailed map's assurance that somebody has been this way before them."

Fourth go at this (other three incomplete) - treating it as a series of sprints and longer 800-1,500m runs rather a marathon :)

Been thinking about this post since Xmas day :) David Foster Wallace took more words, obvs, in providing the view from the interior

Extract from David Foster Wallace's short story Good Old Neon from the Oblivion collection, "As though inside you is this enormous room full of what
seems like everything in the whole universe at one time or another and
yet the only parts that get out have to somehow squeeze out through
one of those tiny keyholes you see under the knob in older doors. As if
we are all trying to see each other through these tiny keyholes."
