>I think I'm good at creating interesting characters and making good plotlines, but I'm bad at actually getting the scenes and ideas on the paper.
Everyone has ideas, anon. Getting it onto paper is what "writing" is.
>I feel like I always fall short when I'm writing a scene, that I'm not describing something well.
You aren't. A beginner piano player isn't going to play the piano well. You need to practice.

Writing fanfiction does help with the character creation and worldbuilding aspect, yes. But your issue is you don't know how to write. How to craft good sentences, dialogue, scenes, etc

>how do I get better?
By writing a lot. And occasionally referencing professional advice. The same as learning any skill, you get better with concentrated effort over time

>cringing at yourself
It's fine, anon, push past it. Someday you'll advance from "bad writer" to "okay writer" and you'll cringe a little less
