Go easy with yourself as you write for these fifteen days. It doesn't matter if it is good or not. Just plunge ahead and write. Don't correct, except the things you normally catch that don't slow you down. Often you'll see this advice not to correct because many people use that as an excuse to stop writing and switch their mind from creative to functional. Corrections can be okay as you go along if they are quick corrections that you usually do when you write, but not if they slow you down or are an excuse to stop and ponder grammar, spelling, or best phrasing.
In my case, other work drew me away for awhile and upon returning was pleasantly surprised to find that there was some good stuff (stuff that I liked and was satisfied with) upon which a story could be constructed.
The story continues and a first draft is almost done. Not the world's best story nor even my best story, but something I like and can build on.
Go easy with the critical mind. Write freely, regularly, and often.
