The most common type of question raised by would-be writers is some version of "why can't I write?" The most common type of answer is "just write." If you look through this site, you will find quite a lot of that sort of question, and that sort of answer. And it really does boil down to pretty much that. You are either going to spend a lot of time agonizing about why you can't write, or you are going to write. Because there really is no _answer_ to why you can't write. And _just writing_ is really not a solution to the problem. You either write, or you don't. Life is not infinite. No one has unlimited time to write. Whether it's two hours a week or two hours a day, if you're going to write, you will. If you're not, you won't. Writers write. People who aren't writers don't. Which are you?
