The above advice isn't bad, but it is still forcing you to think about writing when you don't really care. You are not going to make a good story if you just keeping thinking about how much you are not interested.
I have been a fanfic writer for 3ish months. But I have kept up my drive consistently by doing this.
1) If you are still an avid brony (as I assume you are talking about writing fanfics), then that's perfect. You just need to watch content that has to do with what you are writing. Actually, this can go with any writing really.
Making a story about Appleloosa? Go watch a western show.
Making a Grimdark about Sombra? Go read the Sombra issue of comics, or watch a fan animation about him.
Run out of deep thought about your subject? Watch a podcast or a Silver Quill video.
You aren't going to get a good idea If you just keep thinking about ways to make a good idea. Its like watching water boil. Its better if you go and do something else, then soon or later, an idea will come to you, just like how eventually the water will start boiling.
I find that if you are not thinking about writing, but you are doing something you enjoy that can connect with your writing, your mind will automatically connect the ideas, and you will have a drive to jot down notes that will then make you want to type those notes into your story. BAM now you are writing again. All it takes is the proper inspiration. It sucks trying to add to your story, but can only come up with useless filler.
This is what works for me, but like in Testing, testing, 1.2.3. you need to find your own way of doing things, everyone is different.
