Then you're absolutely in the wrong place.  I don't know what else to tell you.

Au Contraire, I think I'm absolutely in the right place.

See, it's kind of like when you're a kid and your mother tells you to take a bath. You fight back, tooth and nail, flailing and throwing a tantrum. It's not until your mother forces you in the tub that you realize the water is quite soothing and warm; so soothing that you throw another tantrum when it's time to get out.

I hate to write, but when I force myself to sit down and dive into my imaginary world of conflicted characters, I realize I love to write...

So, sit down and write!  Is that what you want me to tell you across the computer?  What good does that do?

Are you looking for somebody to give you ideas?  Cause if you are, we could go back to the bath water analogy...

Say, you want someone to force you to take a bath, and that someone else actually wants to take a bath, but there's only enough water for one bath.  Do you think that someone is going to force you into the bath and essentially forfeit their own bath?

Confused?  Let's look at it this way.

Say, you've got a milkshake...

Shouldn't you two be writing - instead of bathing in milkshakes together?

Don't get too much writing done at the day job, I'm afraid.

If you want to write, you'll really enjoy the process of putting your ideas on paper, tape, or some form. Otherwise, writing will be too isolating and tedious for you.
