Try writing a nonfiction book, then. I sometimes amuse myself writing instruction manuals or tutorials or something like that, where there's no story. I have even written fake instruction manuals for technologies that don't exist... it's not a story! and then my brain inexorably fills in a story around it, LOL.
IDK that it'd work for you but I've tricked myself in various ways before.
I've also written like, essays and meta-commentary and that sort of thing, to get me going on writing.

Thank you! I rather like the idea of fake instructions for technologies that don't exist. That's a lot of fun :) I'm actually ghostwriting a book for someone else atm, so I suppose there is some creativity going on. Maybe I shouldn't expect myself to be doing my own stuff at the same time. But yeah, doing some meta sounds like fun too. I hope having a journal again will actually help, because it encourages you to actually write something instead of just reblogging. Fingers crossed :)
