Thankfully it's not topics what I lack. I am lucky to have an imagination vivid enough to get inflamed with some plot ideas. It's more about the craft, the style. I can tell the story, but I need to show it instead. And as you all know, the whole point of writing fiction goes around showing and not telling.
Sounds like your halfway there already. I suggest putting your head down and writing out your first story. Getting the first draft out is important from there you can go back in cut, shift around, structure and fill it out.

To me once you get into telling/showing your story everything starts to have a life of its own characters do odd things, go off plot, new characters arrive and then you spend a good while trying to carrol your story back into line.

Just Write...
