Thanks for all the great answers. Seems pretty unanimous that I should just write the story I care about, rather than wait until I feel "worthy" of writing it.

The bits about the benefit of desire in writing hit home. After seeing your comments, it does seem pretty self-evident that it would be frustrating to write something I don't care much about, just to learn the process. I trust I can either clean up the story, or that inspiration will hit again later with another "best" story idea.
