Major Writer's Road Block Stress Disorder (MWRBSD)

Another draft of my long story is due in one hour and eight minutes (and hence, I'm blogging). As I'm trying to write the draft, I have no idea which end is up. Where do I start? What am I trying to say? How do I say it? My story is complex and hard and important. I think my subject is a totally awesome person, and I'm glad I'm writing about him. But I increasingly have the feeling that I am not good enough for the story.

In regards to emphasizing the dramatic elements in a story:
There's the "truth",...
Then there's the truth that you are telling a story on the radio.
