I must say, this post was very well written.
I currently try to learn to communicate more clearly. Are there any books you can recommend? (I just ordered “on writing well”)

I've been writing my hobby novel for 10 years. That's how I got good. Everything I written in the first 8 years is unreadable now, that's the pace of improvement. I should note the book is not even in English. Good and clear writing is transferable across languages (As GPT-4 has shown...)
Fiction writing has been a unimaginable boon to my life, both career and happiness wise. Writing about a hacker made me try learning coding, and the clarity of communication helped me ace interviews. That being said, I didn't seek out to a 'writer', I merely wanted to bring my story to life, whatever it took.
Now that AI will actually bring the story to life, I spent the last 6 months learning every bit about AI, faster than any learning I've done before, because its pure joy.
I suspect that you just don't enjoy writing. If that's the case, then how did you decide to start writing in the first place? If you just wanted to tell a story, why not choose another medium?
