I got my novel idea in a place that I like well enough to actually begin. Which is a first tbh. I didn't realize how strong the imposter syndrome is in me. A friend basically kicked my butt to 'just start' and it was like pulling teeth, and I still am, like, embarrassed of just the entire concept even though I like it myself.
May be another thing that LLMs are useful for: Their endless glazing of users makes them manipulative, but glazing, from a critic without a brain that I have to be embarrassed for, might be what I need right now, in lieu of anyone in my life that I can be sure won't just go, "Oh, uh, wow, okay...sounds good..."
