A friend of mine is writing her memoirs about her life transition. Writing a memoir, one will dredge up some bitter memories of the past. To leave those moments out could take away from the story.
Writers can also bring out repressed or long-neglected feeling in themselves. I see this as crossing the divide. This has personally happened to me. I'm neither shocked nor surprised because I believe that writing should evoke these feelings. It's up to me how I choose to deal with them.
