'Think at length about writing and you may come to the conclusion that itβs an impossible task.'
Great - as ever - from Irina Dumitrescu.
Pleased to see this piece come up in The Walrus' newsletter today. This is just one voice in a conversation that I imagine will keep us busy for years. But writing this piece has helped me think through how we teach writing, and changed my own pedagogy.

Irina Dumitrescu It can't be said too many times! We've made a world in which AI is going to be very comfortable.

Naomi Kelsey Irina Dumitrescu New Writing North Thank you and thank you for listening to it!
Donβt listen to others for a bit. Donβt give yourself concrete assignments or projects. Instead gather yr materials around you, whatever they be, and use them to meander, free-associate, pull threads that donβt need to go anywhere. Remember how good it feels to create w/o agenda.
