All of these general regions no doubt contain something you could write productively about. None is ready, because none actually expresses your idea; each is, as you say, an idea about an idea that might ultimately come to be. Maybe the effort to keep the options open is having its usual effect? Perhaps it is time to choose one neighborhood and dig there until you have unearthed the idea you will write about.
