>I've never been able to complete a single multichapter story in my entire life
This was, and still is, literally me. I've done more writing in the first year I started doing it as my job as I had in the 10 years leading up to that. Now that I'm forced to write every single day though, I can see myself improving, and it makes me want to write 'for fun' as well.
So... Maybe find some club or class or something where you're forced to write every single day/week so you don't chicken out? Also never start from multi-chapter stories - by the time you've planned one of those out even just at the core level, you'll already be too bored with it too even start. Start with short stories, or even paragraphs. In my case, I write quests, and each sub-quest at least is self-contained so it's great practice.
