Wow, if am surprised with how much I relate to this post. I feel exactly the same towards my side-hustle and towards my work and career.
As a Developer who wants to launch his blog in 2019 but feels he lacks the courage to write consistently, thank you for this post!
I'm a self-taught Front End & JS Dev and professional learner with accessibility expertise. I'm passionate about breaking down concepts into relatable concepts, making it more approachable.
If you ever have questions about it, feel free to Tweet at me or ask me here :).
One piece of encouragement that I'll share is this: the most discouraging thing from starting writing for me was that I thought I would run out of things to talk about. But here I am, still writing, and I have a running list of 20 or more things that I want to write about still! Once you start writing, you almost become overwhelmed with what to write next because there are so many options, especially if you have a theme!

Thanks, Lindsey!
That is indeed one of my fears; I have a list of about 10 ideas but I am procrastinating over the fact that I will run out of ideas, not have the courage/time to write or that I will not have the ability to create posts of good quality.
But people like you give me the strength to at least try it ;)

One thing I do, is when I have a random idea, I write it down on my phone RIGHT AWAY. That helps a ton. When you start writing, you'll get ideas out of the blue. But because of my own brain capacity, I forget if I don't write it down there. That's where my long list came from. Also, you can ask people here what they would be interested in hearing about.

That's how I do it, too. Whenever I have an idea that could be the subject for a post, I write it on my phone. Then I filter out the ideas that don't seem relevant or lack of value and keep the best ones.
The problem arises when I have to actually sit down and begin designing/ sculpturing my post, this is what I have to further develop :)

I'm good friends with @aspittel
and she has a great post about how she does her workflow. I use her principles a lot, and have used it to find my own rhythm! Highly recommend reading it if you haven't already :)
