I don't like drawing, but I want to draw. What do?

I really want to get back into drawing. Like really really. But here's the problem: I hate drawing.
I grew sick of drawing a long time ago, thanks partly because people were telling me that the way I drew was the wrong way, and partly because no matter how hard I tried, my art went mostly ignored. It just wasn't worth the effort.
A year ago, I tried to get back into arting, even going so far as to host a couple of streams. But it was so hard just to get myself to put the pencil to the paper, I gave up. Which doubly sucks, because I had recently been gifted a tablet, after promising that I would use it to get back into arting.
The reason why I want to draw is because I have so many ideas I'd like to put on paper. Like right now me and Dray are experimenting with being skunk sisters, and I'd like to draw that. I'd also like to draw us as a couple pokemon. And we have a character that we adopted a long time ago, and this character is supposed to be our caretaker at the orphanage, and I'd like to draw her doing her job at being a caretaker. And I'd also like to do some fan art of furs we know on Second Life and people we like here.
Yeah, there's always freebies. But while freebies are nice, they can only go so far. A lot of times, we're limited in what we can request. Heck, it's a rare occurrance if we're able to get the both of us in the same picture. Commissions would be a good way to really get what whe want, but we can't afford to get those right now.
So I need to get back into arting so I can draw this stuff, myself. But how can I get back into arting when it makes me uncomfortable to try?
