Britney Spears is sharing her thoughts on the writing process.
The pop sensation took to Instagram to say that addressing her past is "hard" but that writing her memoir has been "healing and therapeutic."
In the now-deleted post, Spears also criticized memoirs written by her mother and younger sister at a time when nearly every aspect of her life was controlled by a legal conservatorship.
Publisher Simon & Schuster agreed on the "record-breaking" deal to publish her memoir back in February.
