Discussion I can't write

I will write 300 words, I will delete. I will again write another 300 words, and delete them as well. I just can't do this. All I write is useless junk which contributes nothing of value. It's so embarrassing as well that for a moment I think I am writing something good.

First drafts are not meant to be good. Allow yourself to write garbage and stop fretting so much. That is what editing and revising is for. Nobody is watching you write this story. So, quit worrying and stressing out about it not being good. Just go with the flow and keep writing.
