Thank you:) I think to an extent the creative process is standardized in the way people think and express their thoughts to develop an argument or explain a story. Academic papers especially all follow a formula with topic sentences, facts, and examples to support a thesis. But, I'd argue that even creative papers follow a formula such as a story arc or hero's journey type of deal. I mean when I really look at it, our sentences are standardized and formulaic too. What do you think? I originally used "standardized creativity" to criticize the education system for controlling what we write about and what writing should look like. But in a way I ended up arguing for a different type of standardized creativity. Thanks for pointing that out!

I see what you mean. In the books we write there's what Writers Digest called the 5 ingredients to storytelling (orientation, crisi, discovery, and the two others I can't remember off-hand). I never really thought about it that way. This is probably why there are many books that are rather predictable. This formula can lead to dry plot. But in academic writing I'm sure it's both helpful to students and teachers. Otherwise, I would think teachers would have a hard time grading and students would have a hard time knowing how to write something that's worth a good grade. Great post!
