Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Max, I live in Northern California, I'm 22, and I've wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember. I face a chronic problem with many of my works and I hope the people hear can help me out. The problem is, at least for my non-MLP projects, is that my head is at war with itself. The battle is between the background lore and writing the actual story. I feel I need to write down the lore so I can avoid continuity errors and such, and yet when I'm trying to write down a scene, I can see it play in my head like a movie, but something is stopping me from getting it down on paper. I have no idea what to do.

Please, I need some guidance.

Hmm... POV change, perhaps?
