You have to push, at least sometimes. Even a great idea that seems to grow on its own in your head won't write itself all the way through. Characters who won't name themselves, getting from A to C without knowing what B will be, great endings that have no beginning, there are always ideas that need that extra effort put into them or nothing will ever become of them. The difference between everyone who says they want to write and those who actually put words on the page is that writers are able to push past the scenes that don't just flow from their fingertips and get them done anyway.
