Don’t worry about the plot or the characters or correct grammar or spelling. Get the story out. When it is out of your head and you can see it, then go back and edit your characters until they are the kind of people you want to be. Fix your grammar and spelling mistakes. Fix your plot If you don’t know how to fix your grammar and spelling and characters and plot so they make an engaging story, learn. Take classes. Read helpful books or articles. Attend workshops.
If you don’t have stories in your head or you want to be a writer because you think it sounds like a cool job, you need to step back and think about your reasons and goals. (less)
