Write every day. So no to other things in order to write.
Share what you write on here and everywhere else. Publish on a blog or a Substack, share links to your work. Don't heed the feedback all that much—good or bad. You know what's in you. Work the muscle of putting it in front of people.
Go to a public library and volunteer to start a writing workshop for an underserved group, like people facing homelessness. Write with them when they write.

Wring out your half-baked ideas, publicly when possible.
Write it even though it’s not your desired style.
Finish the bad stuff—especially the bad stuff—experience your own bad taste firsthand. Exorcise the demons.

you've just got to write freely without a purpose or without an end goal just start writing and see where you end up, even share stuff here if it doesn't 'fit' anywhere else, it's just gonna get the muscle moving and then you'll have tonnes of stuff to look back and work from when you've got something specific you want or need to write

this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing

this is going to hurt — A LOT — but it's getting to the point where there's no other option
