There’s a part of writing that genuinely hurts me…. especially for SEO writing.
But I keep swallowing it and pretending like I’m okay.
It’s not the brainstorming.
It’s not even the tight deadlines.
It’s the hours I waste tweaking a perfectly fine article just to convince a random AI detector that I’m human enough.
I’ll pour out my thoughts, rewrite lines until they sound like me, and still… a tool somewhere says,
“Too perfect. Must be AI.”
So I rewrite again.
And again.
Not because the writing was bad, but because I need it to turn green. To say “original.”
To get approved.
At some point, I realized how backwards that is.
We’re teaching ourselves to sound less clear, less polished, just to meet a machine’s idea of “human.”
And sometimes?
Making a piece messier actually improves the score. Wild.
Honestly, it’s exhausting.
But here’s what keeps me going: I know my voice.
I know the effort I put in.
I don’t write to impress a tool.
I write to connect with people.
