Except maybe for the part about capturing something essential and releasing it before I can second guess. I'm less afraid of the second guessing, as long as I can delay it until after I've got something on the page. Problem is the editor in my brain is impatient and overeager, won't give the writer space to do their thing.

Are you looking for an approach to bottle the lightning without burning down the forest by dialing down the stakes and the blast radius and if you feel you’ve caught the moment push it out to the world in a way that is quick and final and prevents second guessing. Or maybe thinking such an approach would work could snuff out the spark.
The why of the tool feels more important than the how. I’ve tried to trick myself into doing something but I always get wise in the end. (Shot from the hip, I feel the struggle)
