You're making writing too hard. Listen to me. In order to be a great writer, and I've studied this for a long time, you need to be able to think well. Most of writing is thinking well. An author has the ability to think well, because they're trained in thinking well. Some authors get stuck. We all do, but we destress. We take a walk. We do something else. What we don't do is trouble ourselves, because we know better. If you want to write with clarity, you need to open the third eye and see out of the mind's eye. A lot of what we do is instant cognition. So, very little thinking involved.
Charles took a walk with Sally and it was dark outside. The wind was blowing and there was mud coming up from the rain, along the sidewalk from the edges of the pavement. Charles shook his head and Sally smiled, and said, "The rain will never stop." They continued down the street meandering around a wooded area. Charles stared at Sally. "We're almost there," he said, smiling. A ball bounced along the side of the ground and an oil can sat on the ground in a wooded area next to where he found the child's toy. Charles thought back about how it got there, wondering about yesterday when he saw the boy at play. He had been outside playing in the very spot where Charles saw the toy laying on the ground next to the wooded area where it continued to sit. He put it together and picked the toy up and placed in into his pocket. It was Billy Roger's child's toy. Eliot, was the boy's name.
Don't make it harder than it is. This is just an example. You can always go back and add to it, but this is a rough draft to a story that I just came up with, but what you'll notice, is it's pretty much finished and in final state. I lightly did some editing, but that was it. I don't write perfectly. I did one last edit to finish it, just now, so this is the final draft now, and it took many edits for me to get it all straight, but I'm a dyslexic writer, so writing is actually hard for me to lay it all down correctly, even though I'm a trained author and fully trained editor-in-chief. All you amatuer writers, take my story and make it your own. Finish it. It's my lovely gift in the bones for you all. I am trying to help you.
One of the books I'm working on is kind of like how you're wanting to write, so I'm not saying you can't do it, but stick to the format for the most part, even if you go off the rails a little here and there, for a book like that. It can't all be that poetic. I'm a poet and my book, "A Time for All Existence," is kind of like that.
