This moment will never come if you just sit and wait for it. Practice in writing is just as important as in coding. Unfortunately, as many great arts of the past, writing is dying due to the publics' interest shifting away from reading (reading fiction in particular) to something else.

If you're literally just doing nothing, I'd agree.

But I haven't felt the urge to write anything creatively in over 8 years. Last year, I met someone (my muse?) who sparked this desire in me.

Nowadays I spend much of me free time writing songs, lyrics and I'm working on a draft for a novel.

It's not like I do that because I expect to make money from it - it's because I have to in order to feel al peace.

The trick is getting started pursuing a hobby because you feel some mission, and practicing every day despite losing the motivation.

Then, when the motivation returns, you'll have the skill to express what you really want to say.
