This past week I've had all these ideas running through my head, begging to be written down and turned into a story worthy of their...idea-ness. But when I tried to actually do said writing, I realized (as I do every time this happens) that I don't actually like it. No matter how late the ideas keep me up at night, no matter how badly I want to see them in the form of a finished story, ~~no matter how much fun it would be to accumulate a fandom~~, the actual act of writing them down in a coherent fashion is a chore for me.

Sigh.

I wish there were a magical device that would automatically take the thoughts from my brain and put them in story form just the way I want them. But then again, don't we all?

OH MY GOD YES
Especially since I always get my best ideas when I'm DRIVING or FALLING ASLEEP

A thousand times yes.

I have the same problem. I've been stuck with my book for....an embarrassingly long time now. When I lay down to bed each night I start writing random passages, but whenever I manage to actually get up and write it down suddenly I realize I don't like it. The words aren't right. The idea in my head was perfect but somehow it just didn't translate onto paper/computer.

Maybe if you had someone to brainstorm with? More informal writing. Like, write down whatever idea or scene or something and send it off to someone else, bounce ideas back and forth?

Are you me? :O

The problem you just described is me to a T. Whenever I start to write something down and it doesn't sound like what was in my head, I get frustrated and give up. I feel like my hands have betrayed my brain.

I downloaded a program called "Write or Die" to make my writing more sporadic and to quiet my inner editor. But even then I'll get frustrated and need to take a breather. :/

Try writing or drawing them down before they get away from you. It's something that my art teachers have tried to instill in their students.

Or you can even use a tape recorder, or use an app on your phone. That sort of thing really helps.
