Great post. I was just writing about much the same thing. Creative works are often a long and difficult birth. I'm currently working on an idea I had 7 years ago for a picture book and two comics narrative that have been in "progress" for the last 20 and 15 years respectively.
I've only ever had a painting pop into my brain fully realized twice in my life. Ironically, those were the hardest ones to accomplish.
That doesn't surprise me. It can be really difficult to get exactly what's in your head out into the real world.
