When I was younger, random curiosity about a topic or a writing technique was enough to propel me to the finish line on most things I wrote. A difficult piece meant stalling on the what [is this about?] or how [do I write this?].
Now I tend to stall on why [should I write this?]

Now, knowing *what* I want to write gets me from seed thought to brain dump/research notes/tweets
Knowing *how* I want to write it gets me from brainstorm to first draft/outline with lots of TKs
But only knowing *why* I want to write it gets me to the finish line these days

Sounds like a bigger project may be lurking and asking to be focused on (psychologically)
