I think you doing what I used to do when i first started, and that is starting to develop an "app with no map" (pun intended). Now, I work backwards, and first visualize what i want the GUI to look like, and what i want it to do. Map everything out, on paper, on a tablet PC, on a brick wall with chalk, whatever works for you. I use a whiteboard. The project im working on now, a genetic inheritance simulator, is very extensive, and hard to start working on without knowing EXACTLY where im going. First I designed a basic GUI (Web based), then said to myself, what will all of these buttons and textboxes and events actually do? What class will this class inherit? What interfaces do I need to write? Write out the logic in easy (for you) to understand language. When you have all of the variables figured out, all you have to do is sit down and translate everything into syntax, which because 1,000,000x easier. Everyone has a different approach; maybe working backwards wont work for you. Maybe you would like to storyboard you ideas, kinda like a cartoon, or use a brainstorming map. I used to want to sit down and design a site, any site, just to put something up to show someone for a possible job interview. I wasted more time fucking around with syntax when I could have been planning. Application design is 50% planning, and 50% implementation and debugging.
