Actually, I'm in complete agreement with ghineman on this. I was just thinking that you should just jot down all these ideas that you have swimming in your head. Sometimes just putting those ideas on paper can take a life of itself and inspire more. It's a start. Don't concern yourself so much with format--that will come in time. For me, sometimes I have to step back from the project, let it breathe, allow myself to breathe...ya know, switch gears a bit. That's okay. Once the ideas are on paper, they don't leap off the page if you need to take a literary hiatus.

Hope this helps.

Let's see... If you write short stories, lokito, maybe you can start that way. Write the story in a page. Then rewrite but adding a few details to every part of the story, including now some side or descriptive notes about the environment or other characters. Continue from there... Would this work for you?

I use free retrievals. I hope I am clear. Like. I just let myself flow. Into the words, thoughts and feelings.

Comes like a stream. I catch some of them and write. Later see what I come up with. The story develops instantenously.

Try this in bed. While lying, the energy wholly corresponds to mind. Just like dreaming but you are completely awake.
