Advice from writer to writer?

Okay, so I really like the idea I have for my story I Just Am. , but I find that I am having trouble putting into words the story I want to write.

Whatever I come up with, even the two chapters (Prologue and chapter one) that I have up so far seem to be a bit wordy and confused to me.

Has this ever happened to any of you? If so, what did you do?

I really want this story to turn out well, but I can't seem to grasp what I really want to convey through it and how I want the main character to come across.

I kinda think she should be like a badass and haunting (possibly even disturbing), but I don't know if I can pull off that kid of writing without sounding cheesy or cliché (or even just plain horrible).

Maybe i should just start the story over? Or at the very least rewrite the Prologue and/or chapter one so that way it makes more sense and doesn't bounce around (like I kind of think it does).

Oh hell, I don't know.

What do you guys think I should do? Please, please, please give me your opinion and/or suggestion.

It is much appreciated! <33
