Thanks for posting your idea. This (>>4372368) isn't me, btw. Personally, I don't think it's that great, nor would I feel too bummed out about not being able to write it.

But, regardless, you have a premise in your head, and thus as good a jumping-off point as any.

Since you say you "suck" at writing, I'd start with an outline. This doesn't take much creativity or descriptions, and builds the basic skeleton of your whole story/book. You could spend anywhere between days or months perfecting an outline. When you're done, you have a map. (Duh.) If you get writer's block in one scene, you can immediately jump to another. It's just extremely useful.

While you're in the outline phase, also make a list of books and authors that are similar to the voice and style you want to convey with your own writing. Read these with the primary goal to learn how they form sentences and tell their story. If you try to mimic them, your own unique style will eventually jump from the page.
