Oy vey. I hope you don't mind me barging in on y'all's conversation, but I sense an opportunity here to try to motivate/talk you down, and as I owe so much gratitude to your muse, I wanna seize it! *hee - thinks about seizing other things ;)...points to icon*
SOOOOO. Inopportunistic scenario #1. Sometimes your brain is overflowing with great ideas, but you don't have the time to sit down and write.
Inopportunistic scenario #2. Sometimes you finally do have the time to write, but feel seized with panic that when you do so all of the ideas you had will come out wrong and that will be the end of them.
But do you step back and logically review the situation? It seems like you are so stuck on the idea that whatever comes out first is all that possibly CAN be. Let me take this moment to tell you that I'm suddenly (as in, as of this moment) a big proponent of the idea of *drafts* and reworking. What if you sit down and, instead of trying to write it word for word exactly as you want the final product to be, write a more vague overview of what you'd like to see come to fruition? (No, I don't write fiction so Idk if this is how it works, but...) Then you can flesh out the vague skeleton as the inspiration strikes you.
I realize I might sound a bit ridiculous, like a child trying to advise a parent in how to handle a situation they have no grasp of, but seriously. You're not thinking proactively enough, you're just letting yourself dwell in the comfortable realms of your own insecurities. Try to break out of that box.
