Writing...or not

Have you ever tried to think of something to write about and get zillions of memory flashes, but think, nah, that's not interesting enough or how do I make a story out of it or...some other excuse for not even starting? I have been having this problem for a few weeks. I know it's stupid but somehow I think I have to try to write a masterpiece every time I write anything! How do you get over that? Many people say "just write" and I have done that, resulting in nonsense and wasted time. I have to be passionate about the idea before I can write about it. Or maybe I am not writing the nonsense long enough. How do you get past this?
