How do you build confident in your writing?

When writing a paper, I usually find the discussion that I want to write and quote from another paper, rather than just write it in my own words. I already thought of the idea, but I feel that I am more confident if it came from other researcher.

I shouldn't reference it, but just write confidently... but I never did. I should trust my thought!

Don't bother the people talking about your grammar 😪. It's not like they genuinely care about your question, believe me.

I get that as well in most of my questions. but i try to take every comments positively.

I will check the grammar after i finish writing the paper. in the process of writing, i don't think it build the confidence much.

for now, i need to say to myself that my idea does matters even though this is my first manuscript. thank you @Trevo . You are very caring.
