I would suggest spending time meditating on one idea each day, wherein you explore that idea. Don't allow yourself to ramble too far; if you get away from that idea by more than a couple of steps, come back to it. When you run out of things to discuss with yourself...
Keep going. Search deeper. This will push you to connect other ideas further in, and find the nuances which you have neglected to this point.
I think what has been happening is that you have been living in an ocean, a veritable sea of information. Taken out of that sea, your reserves are limited. You write well (it gives you time to ramble around until you find what you're looking for and can say it), but you need to deepen your sea, so that others are less able to take you out of it (and thus you can find what you're looking for with better speed if it's not immediately obvious).
Get your plumb bob and test your own depths. Stir up the muck beneath you and see if the water clears. You'd be surprised how far you go.
If you think of yourself as a city, you have spread out widely. Build up, into the sky: reach for your dreams -- your old dreams, the ones you set aside, the ones you wish you could remember better. And dig down, into the ground: find your roots, find your depths, find the bedrock on which you can build. The one supports the other; the other reinforces the one.
Know thyself. It is the best advice I ever took, and perhaps the best advice I can give to someone in a situation like yours. When you know to the utter limits who you are, then what you should do will be open to you.
