: Re: How do I stay confident? I usually start writing and just let it spill out. But a couple sentences later I just cannot write. I then begin thinking of what to write next. During thinking

I write in a notebook with a pen.

This way, I can't go back and edit anything until I've finished. This forces me to accept what I've written--it's only a first draft anyway. I'll fix it later, on my second/third/nth draft. If I fix it immediately, I'll regret it again immediately. If I wait until I've written the rest of the story, it becomes easier to write it better. I'll know what that part needs because 1) I'll know the rest of the story and 2) I'll have more mental distance from it.

If you don't want to handwrite your stories, I'm sure there's specialized software out there that doesn't let you edit what you've already written.
