>spend years world building
>sometimes do it by purposefully sitting down and writing about things and places, while other times just lost in thought daydreaming
>pour love and soul into my characters, places, and world to write a story I've plotted out
>I've become so accustomed to the world that there's no excitement in writing about it and no surprises as I've loved all of it in my mind already
>I lose all drive to write whenever I try to do so because of this

Is this some sort of creative dead end? Have I accidentally locked myself into a corner of boredom brought on by familiarity? How do I overcome this? Am I alone in feeling this?
