How to get rid of rust and start writing again?

Post Body

I am sorry if this has been asked/posted before.

I wrote mostly through Middle School and High School as a way to deal and get through my parents fighting and divorce. I am 33 now, and I haven't done much writing since high school consistently other than journaling. There is a thick layer of dust and rust that I am trying to remove. I do have the fear of getting back into it, of failure, not being good or good enough, insecure in about every which way. My typewriter was the one thing that I was able to write with and just flow, but it is no longer working. Sat in a storage unit one summer while moving and went unused for awhile.

I don't know how to start. Even with writing prompts (I have joined r/WritingPrompts). I wrote for so long with my emotions back in school. Even if I get a start that I can flow with, I get to the point of how to continue and end it. I get insecure and shut down fairly often. I don't know if it helps, but I do have ADHD and Autism, figured I put it out there for my case.

Would like your help, and possibly make this a thread for those who are in my position or something similar.
