EVERY

FUCKING

TIME

I don't know how to curb this. I honest to god don't.

I know the major events I want done, I know what I want my main character to accomplish and relatively at which time points in the story for certain events to take place, but I am horrible at getting him to these points or making the in-between characters that help him get there.

It's so fucking frustrating and I don't know how to fix it.

Start with writing the incorrect thing, something you know to be completely off-base or wacky.

sounds kinda like you dont really have an idea, just scenes.
Remember that characters represent ideas and if you know what your theme is find the inter-relation until the characters start to mingle and a plot falls out.

Getting hung up on details is your brain's way of quitting the difficult task while saying "well I tried really hard, just not my day"

If a detail isn't coming out, do what >>9230972
said, or leave it out, and move on.

If you focus so hard on the trees, you're gonna paint a bunch of trees instead of a forest. Keep moving, keep exploring how things go, and you'll probably find yourself answering a lot of those early questions you're getting stuck on.
