Leaving it in your head lets it ferment, change, but rarely will it leave until you get it on paper. As human beings we are very good at second guessing and talking ourselves out of doing things, commit and go for it.

Don't worry too much about backgrounds and the size of the protangonists domains, think room of requirement and just tell your story.

Good luck and welcome to the journey.

That's what seems to be happening with my short story I am currently writing. Today I just kept writing until I noticed how great job I did with the beginning of the story. And it just came out from some where without much effort.
