Question:

How does one write?

I get these ideas in my head, sometimes only characters, sometimes conflicts and events without specific characters (atleast initially). I don't consider myself the creator of these ideas as they just come with no effort. They live in my mind and develop themselves and sometimes combind with with other "unrelated" ideas with slightly more effort than it took to birth them. Then on the rare occasion that I attempt to put them in print I can not even begin to articulate them. My words are ackward, there is no flow though I feel with certainty what I want to say. There seems to be some kind of breakdown between these two different parts of me. I quickly am defeated because what I have down is not what I ment and it dishonors what I have inside and I cannot continue the comprimise. Do people have to pound it out into their goal? Others seem to write just like they're ringing a bell. I speak well and have a good command of the language but I just can't seem to get it there.
