I'm still torn...

I want to write a story but I don't know where to begin... I mean, the ideas are there and I keep thinking its good but when I put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) I'm just like 'UGH what if everything turns out to be absolute garbage?!' OTL I know I am just beating myself up over nothing and I can just delete it if everyone absolutely hates it. I'm just... it's tough. I don't know how the amazing writers on here do it. How do you even do it?

I'm not an amazing writer and I would never consider myself a good one. Truthfully, I just had the confidence to start writing an actual story. I had it all planned out in my head but as I'm writing it, it doesn't always go the way how I mapped it all out. If you think you're not good enough, keep trying. A good novel doesn't happen in one night or one sitting. A film even would take months or even years of planning, filming and editing. So if you have ideas in your head and you want to write it all down, then do it. There's no harm in trying, right? And to reach that goal, all you have to do is make the first step and just keep going even if there are roadblocks or mishaps along the way.
Hope this helps~ :D
