Same here.

Although I also tend to find that my enjoyment of the writing process increases once I've got a certain amount of stuff out on the screen. So my writing process looks something like inspiration -> boredom/dislike for idea -> enjoyment and satisfaction at pulling information together into a coherent whole, and most of my ideas get stuck in that valley of boredom and dislike for the idea.
