I want to write a book
I write every day, practice my punctuation, try to expand my vocabulary regularly
I’ve written articles, essays, poems, even wrote and illustrated a children's book once
But
I want to write a book
I’ve collected 100s, read countless, and never forgotten a few
I started to write one, forgot all about it, lost interest
I’ve brainstormed a handful, dreamt up fantastic alternate realities
I’ve fallen in love with characters I only imagined
But
I want to write a better book
I need to think of a better story
I need to invent ingenious arcs
I want more than a simple heroes journey full of cliches and too perfect heroes
I want to write the book
But
I don't think anyone would read it if I did
I don’t know if the book has or ever will exist
I don’t think I am the most profound writer of all time
I don’t know if I can even finish more than ten pages
But
Sooner or later
I am going to write my book

I love this because I feel the same way where there are so many ideas that never get written but its okay because one day I'll make my book, if not for others then at least for me.
