As a fellow writer-marketer-storyteller, this resonates so hard. AI can be great for some things but creativity comes from small seeds that take hold and won’t let go, ideas that demand to be mulled over, discussed, broken apart and put back together in your own individual way. Thanks for sharing, Stella!

So clear, well-reasoned and actionable. I could read this to my teens as a rallying cry for the un-AI approach to writing—that involves walking away, coming back (with pen), reworking, rethinking and keeping the best examples of others close like creative talismans. Thank you for pulling back the curtain on your process and journey to clarity.

Yes to all of this. Even if you train AI to write in your “voice” it lacks the authenticity that only comes from being engaged in the full process.
