It's definitely something to practice because I have that same issue sometimes. But even then, just starting to write without a goal is a great place to start, even if the brain is being the brain haha
I'd also suggest setting a goal of like 2k words and making yourself fill that. Just write absolute nonsense, repeat the same word over and over again. Anything to tap into that flow state. Cause once you hit the flow, the brain can be involved and you can plot and structure and all that other stuff. The flow just helps reach a point where you aren't, like, stuck looking at the blank page wondering what to write.
I usually do some automatic writing to find a flow and then work on figuring out the voice. Those are the two most important parts of the writing for me. With other games it usually involves figuring out the mechanics first and finding a voice that fits that, but for more literary/lyric stuff it's all about flow and voice, and atmosphere as like a tertiary thing.
The influence for them was the movie The VVitch, hence the subtitle "do you like the live deliciously?"
The idea being that they are higher powers you can worship/petition. So instead of the traditional Cleric role, anyone can choose to follow one and live by the principals of that being. But they are also left rather open so as to inspire people to take them and run with them.
So there is no "canon" for them. Yet. I'd have to run a game where a player reached out to one to really figure that part out.
That's something I can work on if I find the free time to do so. But until then, some of the great people in the community have made some. If you join the discord they've been made free to download.

Hey, as for the last question: I'd let them add dice whenever they wanted, simply because that could be super tense. But it's totally fair to limit it to only before.
As for the monsters: yes, monsters roll 2d6+ whatever their attack modifier is. Tho, honestly, using the HD as a dice pool could be really fun. There's probably a cool hack in there.
I think it'd be easy to run solo by following the one-action-per-section-of-time rule, the bingo cards, and then a dungeon you want to explore. If you wanted to ask some other folks, check out the discord! https://discord.gg/S4EdzAjfn2
