I have only 40 years to write 30 novels and 5 philosophical treatises, plus some poems and short stories

What are some books that can help me stop taking my own thoughts so seriously?

I know what I want to write, but is set in a determined historical period and I didn't research enough. I also don't think I'm prepared to write it yet.
I have been postponing NaNoWriMo for 5 years now though.
Should I just write it now or should I research more and write it when I feel prepared enough?

Blue eyes staring up at the glowing oval which protruded through the blanket of dark snow clouds. Mustache harboring icicles of frozen snot. Beard matted down with caked dirt and gore. Soot stained cheeks streaked in frozen streams of tears. Fingers and nose tip giving way to frost. Thoughts of home and brethren and the emptiness waking alongside it. Two angry wasp nests where feet and tibiae once were but now splayed and shredded like a two large squids pumping out crimson ink. Half a farmhouse aflame, the other half missing in a mess of shingles and floorboards. Men screaming, women wailing. Rough hands on backpack and the bloody paintbrush upon the snow.

Blue eyes never leaving the sky. Little black crosses outlined by the glowing oval.

Gritted molars separated and sputtering words were released upon a cloud of steam, “T-They've c-c-ircl-ed.”

One thousand punishments from heaven and the victory cry of the dragons who carried it out. Earth pummeled, life snuffed. All domestic terrorists down. Bad guys dead. Kills confirmed. Mission accomplished. Let's have a beer. Can't wait to get back home.

I cannot find anythingy that attracts my curiosity
