I used to write all the time for fun. My days are filled with ideas of stories and settings and scenes that I want to turn into words but whenever I push myself to sit in front of the keyboard to write something I can't do it.
How do I break out of this? I've lost my creativity somewhere along the way and I want it back.

Read more. The more you read good books, the more you'll feel like writing and reaching their level.
On the other hand, there are some people who do this and, instead, give up hope on ever writing anything good. If you find yourself inclining to that side, then give up on writing and focus on reading all you want.

Do translation. It's an activity which boosts your creativity but you don't have to worry about coming up with new ideas because its all there for you. You can just focus on how to convey the prose in your own language.

I write filthy erotica and self-publish on Amazon for a bit of padding for my regular paycheck. It's super easy, particularly if you're literate. Just throw in some taboo stuff, write as a woman a lot, and bingo.
However, I'm terrified that one day my literary fiction will be published and someone will figure it all out after finding similar phrasing.

Is it profitable? Or are you making pennies?

i wouldn't worry about that if i were you. rock star's syndrome. literary success happens to less than one in ten thousand authors.
