Here's the real answer, and it sucks because it isn't a fun or easy one. You just gotta do it. Trust me, I am an ADHD riddled task paralysis mess but when it comes to doing your art (whether that's art or writing) you just gotta Keep Doing It even when it doesn't come easy. It sucks! But it's true.
