How do I force myself to write what's in my head?
I know exactly what I want to write plot wise, down to the specific chapter I'm writing, but I can't get myself to write much more than a paragraph or so before I get stuck on words, especially prose or dialogue because it's not sounding right or I don't know how to word a specific scene well
I know I should just write and get something down regardless of quality so I can go back to it again later and make it good, but I still seem to keep getting stuck

I'm starting to plan a new project, a fun sci-fi ish novel with esoteric/occult themes.
How much should I lean into or avoid structures like The Hero's Journey? While I've been trying to come up with plot outlines I tend to naturally fall into many of the cliches from those sorts of story structures. I can't tell if I should lean into this, or avoid it and try be more original.
My goal is not necessarily to write anything particularly profound or literary, but rather to make a fun and readable novel.

What good books can I give to my girlfriend who doesn't read? Preferably something we could read together.
Last thing she read was cheap bargain bin girly YA novel, and I don't think she enjoyed it that much.
She's intelligent but just hasn't found anything to read that's good and engaging.

Me.
