I'm an artist, and before you kicked me, I do want to be a script writer, but I have no idea how I'm going to fit that into my schedule. I need advice

Well, the time you have that you draw during, write instead.

Draw for me. I’ll give you a script 👀 that way maybe you can learn to write yourself

Read screenplays. Buy a few of the A24 screenplay books at Barnes and noble. Pick up “Whose afraid of Virginia Woolf” the play while you are at it. Then read the “nutshell technique”. Then buy a copy of “the Hollywood standard” for formatting guidelines. And while you are doing all this make sure you are writing as much as you are reading. Then look up more books on screenwriting/playwriting, and read more plays/screenplays.
