There's only a few pieces of advice I can give. It's one of those things, you won't be as impressed with your own work because you know what will happen in the story/every trick you employed and what all the symbolism means, and your reader doesn't. Therefore they will always be way more amazed and interested than you. And you literally gotta set a schedule and do it. Sit yourself down at a certain time on a certain day or days of the week and write at least one paragraph. Lastly, just do it and throw it out there as soon as you are done, you'll always go 'that was bad' when looking at your old work, but trust me someone is going 'omg this is so good.'

And if I'm honest, there's a lot of works that when I look back on that are both mine and others that were god-like at the time, that now that I'm older and more skilled are like 'lol this is so bad, but I'll never like it less than when I first read/saw it'. You know?
