Letting go and writing past shame

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: In an age of LLM‐powered AI, skipping past the painful feelings writing can engender is more tempting than ever before. But painful emotions are both meaningful and valuable for the writing process. Accordingly, I offer concrete strategies for writing with and past shame rather than against it.
