I think what you're saying makes all kinds of sense.
Even though, when I'm writing (which doesn't happen all that often), I have the exact opposite problem. I can't get *into* a character's head, instead I kinda hover over the action, all limited (or even full) omniscient. Which is great for crowd scenes, but hell when you're trying to do an intimate bit with just a couple characters. Or, worse, just one character.
It comes from years and years of role-playing (instead of writing) where we challenged ourselves to do multiple character scenes, and to (many years ago) being the primary dungeon master for my AD&D group.
