It's often a good idea to note your ideas down the moment you have them and then look at them at a later point. This makes sure that you have an interest in it that lasts long enough to actually get something done and you can change some of the biggest things. Most stories are re-written / edited quite a few times before they are released. If you just can't seem to get into the mood of writing a really long story you could just try a _short story_ and see whether people like that. Maybe the feedback you get will encourage you to make the story a longer one. In any case: writing is a good idea to help you improve your writing. If you like the idea while you have your "writer" hat on, but not when you are donning your "reader", but you just can't seem to point out what exactly the reason for this is then writing a short story and having someone read it might be the best thing you can do. Your beta readers or general audience may be able to provide you with clearer feedback about what they don't like from the "reader" perspective. You can use this feedback to learn why you had this feeling, which will help you the next time it comes up so that you can look at your story ideas from a more objective point of view.
