: Re: Not wanting to "spoil" a story due to lack of skill I have a story that is dear to me and that I would very much want to write about. However, I don't have lots of experience in writing

Lack of skill isn't a problem. Lack of skill can be improved by both practicing and revising; just like riding a bicycle, or conversing with people [which I certainly lack the skill]. As @Mary stated so succinctly, just "Write it".
The writing process is a learning one. As you proceed typing at the computer (or writing on your notepad), you'll find out whether or not the words or the story work. If it doesn't click, find ways to make it click. The English language has so many language constructs, I'm sure you'll find something that will make it click. Heck, even if it doesn't click, it's not a problem. Put it aside and let your brain think of ways to make the story/words click.
First and foremost, write for yourself and no one else. There is literally no pressure when you're giving yourself the freedom to create even if it's absolute gunk at first. Absolutely no one needs to know what you write about (unless you wish it to be known).
