To be honest I wrote a rough outline of A Life Worth the Fleeting Suns a long time ago, when I was still a child perhaps, so I don't actually remember. I knew about Aubrey de Grey's work fairly young, and loved the Dune novels by Frank Herbert. So somehow, from these interests, a story with a dash of adventure and political intrigue arose about a young man who doesn't want to die, life giving nanobots, the tension between man and machine, and the future of humanity.

Skip the scene and start writing another one. Or start writing another story.

I think about a novel that I'd like to read but doesn't exist yet.

Concentrate on the story first, just putting anything on paper to tell your story. Even writing: 'I'm not sure what will happen in this scene but this is the result' and moving on.
As Terry Pratchett said, 'The first draft is just you telling yourself the story.'
As you hone your story your writing will hone with it. So write a story you are dying to tell.
