This requires a little effort. Finding your voice, finding your themes and all that. Also, the Taste Gap, as it's sometimes called, is a real thing - plenty written about it online, but Ira Glass is considered the first person to really nail it [0].
As this is HN, worth noting Paul Graham also had something to say about taste [1].
This means you're going to have to put some work in to figure out how to write and to get good at it, but it's normally worthwhile. I've been trying to get myself into this groove for a while, but just not getting there for all sorts of reasons, so I can relate to everyone who is struggling, but I also know this is not a problem specific to me, it's specific to the art, in fact all art.
