Delaying the transcription of an interview grows resistance and shame toward its content.

Evidence

I began to write up the interview from the recording as soon as I got home because I knew from experience that the resistance to the voices and questions and all that had happened would increase quickly over time, so if I did it there and then while I was still relatively close to it, my doubts and the shame would be manageable. — Karl Ove Knausgaard, A Death in the Family, 1860
