Not having read the entirety of your posting, I'll shoot from the lip: the early paragraphs bring to mind the phrase "analysis paralysis," which can be characterized as mental metadata wrapped around your life-direction axle. As such, it will be dizzying to follow the metadata thread, and being so dizzy, one loses the sense of the axle's forward motion through spacetime. Reflecting on the act of reflection and the visions involved, distracts from the actual doing at the data-level. For example, -- about announcing that you're writing a book -- the announcement and its preparatory strategizing, along, with analyzing or brooding on the _possible_ doubts about the _possible_ failure-to-follow-through, in conjunction with deciding who will receive the announcement and by what means and methods, and considering how you will feel afterward if it doesn't quite work out, ... , distract from actually _doing_ at the "data level." Perhaps the book will "take on a life of its own," and in a sense help _you_ write _it_. Perhaps not. There'll be lots of time for triumphant self-analysis or abject post-incident failure analysis after it's written, unless the book is about post-incident failure analysis vs triumphant celebration ecstacy. If not a book,, then some other project. And if they hadn't developed the way you appear to opine (?) then look at what you've discovered along the way! Wonderful things, not everybody has learned of themselves.
A recommendation to the neurospicy living space canon; How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis. While not entirely about interior design (and not entirely what I wanted, nothing against it!) it’s probably much more helpful as a comparison resource for your book project than others.

"But a clam is a living creature, and a pearl is not." GEEZUS. mind blown.
Yeah, kind of blew my mind too when I finally worked that out.
