I don't know what the answer is, Peg, but even if fiction is not in your stars right now -- and it may not be -- the gift for speaking bravely, strongly, and well has clearly not deserted you. Perhaps there are places that essay or nonfiction can take you that you need to go. One of them may even be back to fiction.
There is an Indonesian proverb I love and use frequently -- "The only way to ride a tiger is to hang on tight to its ears." The same, I've found, is true of writing.
