I'm doing it now. Anyone who answers is writing back.
Fiction is telling lies. Either you're a good liar and want to tell extended stories, or you're lying to yourself. There's nothing wrong with either. This isn't value judgement-time. But you is what you is.
Inspiration is over-rated. Most writers just sit down and start writing. They have a stock of ideas on hand and often juggle multiple pieces, simply out of love for the act of creation and sometimes out of the need for increasingly small bits of filthy lucre.
Writing is a skill, a teachable, quantifiable ability. Effectiveness and skill level may vary, but the act is the same. It is putting words one after the other in an attempt to entertain, amuse, educate. If you don't enjoy that, then you should probably do something else, and own that.
