I have a similar feeling. I've got quite a bit of experience and battle scars after 25 years in the field. I've got technical knowledge at different levels: from jr to staff/architect level to CTO.
However, I've never liked writing. First English is not my first language, so I barely managed to write my PhD thesis in that languages, mainly because I had to. But in general I've tried several times to write some extensive piece about something that I am passionate about at the moment, and although in my head the blog post sounds good, once I start writing, I just get lazy and words don't flow.
What has worked for me is mentoring. I am advisor for several startups at different stages. I have weekly 1 hour meetings with their CTOs (sometimes the CEO, depending on the startup). They aske me questions of things they are struggling with, and I give them my POV, ideas and sometimes more questions.
So far that has been very nice. People have appreciated it a lot (I've even been referred as advisor to new founders) and in addition I usually "charge" 0.5-1% equity instead of money, which is a good way to have some stake in projects I like.
