Don't have this problem. I have a hard time NOT writing. My best advice --- take away the pressure to perform. Go with the story, the characters. Do backstories for characters….keep writing around the story until you're ready to continue.

WRITE….put your work down after you've finished a chapter, then start reading out loud. If the dialogue doesn't sound natural -- cut it out, if you're repeating words or ideas --cut. Tighten what you've written and proceed. Get into a writer's group and critiques that tear the crap out of what you've done. Rewrite to a central theme or guiding metaphor, as a UNLV friend says..

I'm a creative person…It comes naturally. I even dream I'm writing novels. Inspiration for a character in particular novel can come from anywhere…a memory, an interesting encounter.

I was driving in my car and heard a news broadcast that remains found at construction sites in the Vegas Valley were often toss out with refuge. AH, HA! Bits and Pieces was born!
