Maybe you shouldn't be writing.

Maybe you should be collaborating. Sketch the thing out and hire a
partner, or a ghostwriter.
Short stories. Fewer words, and less need to create a world. You only
need to create as much as is necessary to make the story hold up.
Tell stories out loud instead. Find a library which needs volunteers
(a bit redundant, I know) and offer to set up a story hour for kids.
But instead of reading, you're just extemporizing your stories. Alternately, join an improv group.
I think we have at least one video game writer on this board —
how much "writing" does a video game narrative require?

I would actually not suggest poetry, as the effort required to find le mot juste takes just as much blood, sweat, and tears as writing prose, even if there are fewer words.
