The act of reaching out into the ether of language and abstract thought and pulling out a solid story is something akin to such miracles as bringing a person back to life on the operating table and when a giant metal airplane carrying lots of people actually gets off the ground despite gravity's protestations to the contrary.
Very often, ideas, even sentences, that sound good inside my head would sound banal or even nonsensical when seen on the laptop screen. It could be one of the instances of pulling out the wrong story. While I know that we supposedly must produce drivel before we can write a satisfying story, I hope for less amount of drivel and more good stories.
