I have a very slow-brew creative process. It can take years even for me to figure out how to express something, and that "ah-ha" moment could just pop up at any time, even when I'm supposed to be doing or thinking about something else.

I'm envious of people who can so easily lead with Ne, and can just sit down and brainstorm, and access and develop their ideas so quickly.

For me even brainstorming is too organized. It's more like a brain-webbing, where different ideas have an undercurrent connecting them and making them flow into eachother somehow because as much as I might call something a "new idea", it usually takes me a little while to really stop thinking about a theme.
