This starting point can be any one thing through which you can train your willpower and discipline. I think willpower is the single most important thing an individual can have, and most highwits have average willpower, which is way lower compared to their intellectual capabilities. This creates a dangerous and self-destructive imbalance.
You don't have to better yourself in every aspect of your life. One, single, but impactful, aspect will be enough to pull all other aspects along with it.
Writing is not an easy task. Even more so when you have an abundance of information and ideas (high IQ), and average means of tying them together (average willpower). In practical terms, I would suggest flexing your ideas in concrete social interactions. Test your oratory skills, your wits, the logical foundations of your ideas to their core. Once you filter the bad, and shape the good, you'll get the hunger to write something that's actually beneficial to someone.
Why? Because every text needs to have an audience. When you sit down and want to write something right now, you have undeveloped ideas, not enough willpower, and no concrete audience to write to. You simply need to interact with society enough to get all of those.
That could be your main motivation. Think of a field, of an idea, of a problem, of a topic, and study it by participating in society. Then, after some time, you'll have something of value to actually write.
