Trust Your Instincts
When you can't see your writing, you can't judge it. You can't fix that awkward phrase or delete that risky sentence. You have to keep moving forward.
This is especially powerful for writers who struggle with self-criticism. Without the visual feedback loop, your inner editor has nothing to latch onto.
Type Into the Void
Start typing and watch your words disappear. The screen stays blank except for a cursor that moves as you type.
You might make typos. You might lose your train of thought. That's okay—just keep going.
When the session ends, your text is revealed all at once.
