You’re Cringey — Perfect. Let’s Write

Trust me. Retelling your best "Cringe" story can really get things going. It's human nature; we love it when other people screw up. It make us feel less alone.
This kind of writing can help liven up your fiction, your memoir, or your essay. At the very least, it can be cathartic to "write it all out!" And that's never a bad thing.

So, what's YOUR most cringe moment?

Paperlight Stories is a channel about using writing to understand yourself, get unstuck, and tell the truth, on the page and in life.

I’m Carol Anne Shaw, an award-winning traditionally and self-published author of seven novels and an audiobook narrator. I believe stories don’t have to be perfect to be worthy, and neither do we.

This channel blends:
✨ Writing advice that builds self-trust, not pressure
✨ Journaling prompts and reflective writing practices
✨ Honest conversations about creativity, shame, and starting over
✨ Original narrated short fiction that explores identity, longing, reinvention, and emotional truth

This is a quiet corner for people who love words, value depth over hustle, and want to use writing not just to make things, but to make sense of themselves.

It’s never too late to tell your story.
