I know a lot of people have answered your question already, but I totally understand your problem. I was just in that position a couple months ago, when I thought of a super awesome and powerful story idea, but didn’t think I was a skilled enough writer to do it.

I asked a couple people what they thought I should do, and my wise friend gave me some extremely wise advice. As she said, even if you aren’t as skilled as you think you should be, you can always write the first draft and then go back and rewrite it later if it doesn’t meet your standards. Even if you end up changing things, nothing is stopping you from writing the first draft and seeing how it turns out. Maybe you’ll surprise yourself.

I agree that what the others said is true too, but a lot of what you decided to do depends on the story itself. I didn’t think I was good enough to write mine, but after a few months of thinking on it, I decided to take my friend’s advice, and I’ve been working on it ever since. Just filling out a character questionnaire for my MCs and such, before I actually begin writing.

But my point is, whether you decide to write your story now or later, it’s totally up to you and whatever you feel comfortable with. Whatever you decide, I wish you endless colourful words and limitless beautiful descriptions. 🙂
