I've been wanting to write a surreal novel based/inspired by a Vaporwave album I love for a long time. I'm not sure if i should publish it, but im just sharing the things that i have on my mind.

What stops you?

Is it the act of sitting them down and actually fleshing it out? Do you have anxiety about the quality of the ideas?

Have you tried just making bullet point notes on your phone when an idea comes to mind? It's very low stakes and hardly takes any time. I have a notes app full of ideas. Some of them grew into something bigger, others I just delete if they don't stick.

When I write down a few bullets, I find myself adding more and more throughout the week

Mostly sitting down and focusing on it. Keeping my focus on something for any amount of time is really hard for me :(
