Reoccurance
This seems to happen to me every summer. I start out with an idea to write a profile about somebody. I drag my feet, conduct too many interviews, and ultimately avoid writing the article. Then at the end of the summer, I sit down feeling re-committed to writing the piece.
Last year I ended up with one of my favorite articles I've written. This summer I'm hoping for another home-run.
I sat today down with several packed folders: court documents, interviews, newspaper articles, crime reports, etc. Now it's time to get to work and try my hand at this again.

Why does it so often seem like, in the end, the actual writing is the hardest part?
All my best stories are just really good titles.
Interesting problem. I agree with Jack - usually when I begin to write I feel like no matter what I do, the finished product will never be as good as the poential in the notes/documents themselves. As if all that good stuff in there, squished together, still isn't "true" enough...maybe that doesn't make sense...
