I think Don, has hit the preverbriale nail on the head here. Even when the ideas come easy (if ever) the actual craft of good writting is a long hard slog. Every single word needs to be thought about, agonised over, drafted, redrafted, commited to, changed again, and then finaly given to trusted friends who you know will be brutaly honest about this thing you have poured all your emotions, feelings, thoughts, heart and soul out over, and then in all likelyhood will need just one or perhaps two more 'goings over' until you are happy enough to let it go.
Good luck, and please do let us all have a preview!
