You feel it is "above" you at the time?
For example, say you've never written a story from a female POV before, but you have an idea for a novel written from one. Rather than jumping right in and hoping you don't drown, you decide to let yourself mature as a writer and potentially get rid of the training wheels with some practice doing what you feel is "above" you.
I just wonder if I'm alone in doing this and if I should suck it up and go for it because failure is a great learning experience and all that jazz.
