Different stories demand different language. Some are all poetry and pretty words. Others need plainer, understated language to drive home the plot and emotion.
Get the story down, get the characters set, the emotions in place and the plot threads woven together. You can go back and make it prettier later.
Repeat after me, first drafts can suck all the big pointy rocks they want. Finish the draft. First drafts can suck....
