How do you develop the "spark"? Some people just seem to be able to draw effortlessly, while some of us just seem to desperately struggle, pic related.

Maybe try doodling a little bit everyday, not sure if I understand what you mean by "spark" but effortless drawing comes from being familiar with the shapes and techniques.Truth is nobody is suddenly born with amazing skills but some just get it faster and more easily

How do I have fun drawing? This is a serious question.

Well, it usually starts with a lifetime of trauma beginning in childhood that leads to intrusive thoughts and full blown visions that you either draw to get them out of your head (it doesn't work) or draw cute things to distract yourself from the intense, chronic pain of your existence (it doesn't work). That is how you develop the "spark".

If you don't have fun, why are you even doing this? I have lots of fun drawing even though I'm not really good. I just draw what I want, how I want, at my own pace.

I wish I knew. How do you deal with everything you draw being shit and not how you wanted it to look.
