You write. If what comes under your fingers is not great, if you're not satisfied, you rewrite. It's easier to find what needs to be improved once you have something, than finding the perfect scene while staring at a blank page.

You have no "inspiration"? Write anyway. Inspiration will come. I wouldn't say writing is like a muscle that needs exercise, but I do often feel it's like a train: there's the first effort of getting going, and then it gathers speed. You don't write, it keeps standing at the station.

Rewriting is a normal process. Hemingway rewrote For Whom the Bell Tolls 38 times, I believe. Do not expect the perfect scene to just come out in your first draft.
