I believe your 3 points are covered by dishonesty, and perhaps the writing process can be said to be a potential cure for "lack of X". Still, when one is competent and has something to say, writing is not difficult in the sense being discussed, only technically.

Wanting to write about a subject you're not fully prepared to write about isn't dishonest, it's just premature. I think the difference that this has from dishonesty is dishonesty can be cured by... simply being honest. These 3 hypotheticals I've mentioned (and there are certainly many others) can all be cured instead by doing more groundwork.
