I'm not talking just as a fanfic-writer - I haven't been one for such a long time - but I've written for a few other occasions, too.
Personally, when I want to write, I write. I believe in the power of inspiration and don't think that someone can write if they lack inspiration, but it's not a problem for me, because I always have a plenty of ideas, and that can lead me to many different stories at the same time, though I prefer finish one and then begin another. The problem is, that, when I'm just thinking about it, I often can't figure it out very well. But when I have a general idea and begin to write it, I always find a way to go on - and, finally, finish it.
