Silence Your Inner Critic
This addresses one of the biggest obstacles in creative writing: the inner critic who wants to perfect every sentence before moving to the next. That voice kills momentum.
You'll write messy, imperfect prose—and that's exactly the point. First drafts are supposed to be rough. By removing the option to edit, you free yourself to actually create.
No Delete, No Problem
Start typing and you'll immediately notice: the backspace key does nothing. Delete, Ctrl+Z—none of it works. Your only option is forward.
Made a typo? Keep going. Wrote a clunky sentence? Leave it and move on.
The result will be messy. That's the point. When the session ends, you can edit to your heart's content.
