*Cringes* Oy, I've been getting that way myself. For me it's because I've become incredibly conscious of what people like and don't like in a story, and it's gotten me to start nit-picking everything (does this beggining catch the reader's interest? Am I dragging this part out too long? Is this too much information or not enough.)
The thing is - and this may sound a little wrong - you need to come to a point where you're all "ah, screw it!" and write, anyways. As soon as I'm done with my Secret Santa fic, I'm going to write Black Dragon and see how it developes along the way. What it all comes down to is writing original stuff, as much as I can, to have future books ready to publish as well as get myself back into writing original fic. And I'm tired of procrastinating about it.
