Don't wait for a "big idea." Start sketching, even if the first 50 versions are mediocre.
There is a famous anecdote about a pottery teacher who divided his class into two groups. One group was graded solely on the of a single pot; the other was graded on the quantity of pots made (the total weight of their work). By the end of the semester, the highest-quality pots actually came from the "quantity" group. While the "quality" group sat around theorizing about perfection, the "quantity" group was busy making mistakes, learning from them, and inadvertently perfecting their technique through sheer volume.

Most people quit at Sketch 5 or 10. They encounter the "messy middle," where the initial excitement has faded, but the final polish is nowhere in sight. Reaching Sketch 94 requires a transition from (working hard for one day) to consistency (working steadily for months). This volume of work builds "muscle memory." Whether it’s the way a charcoal pencil hits the paper or how a line of code interacts with a database, the 94th iteration represents a level of intimacy with the craft that a beginner simply cannot access.
