You are trying to do too much at once. You're flailing around in a cloud. The easiest way for me to get out of the cloud is to start asking and answering hard, definable questions, and completing hard, definable tasks. - Create and define a character. - Decide what you want the character to do. Give the character a reason or reasons for doing it. - Start the character at some distance from the goal. "Distance" can be physical, emotional, spiritual, mental, any combination of the above. - Give the character some friends. (Or don't.) - Give the character some enemies. (This can include the character him/herself.) - Establish some obstacles the character has to surmount to reach the goal. - "Things go wrong." Lather, rinse, repeat. - Sketch out an outline of how the character gets around the obstacles. Include how the friends help and the enemies hinder. Everything else is details.
