Start writing in it about anything, including your lack of being able to write. I've found when I do that I end up spewing about the plot knots and poor character motivations until I'm suddenly working them out on paper. More often than not, I have to cut the journal short because I can't wait to tackle the story again. If anyone keeps a journal, I’ve found it’s a really good way to get your butt in the chair.

I had something simular in my book where I killed a character then later regreted it. In the second draft he came back to like (well, not back to life, just didn't kill him) but it caused me to do a lot of major re-writes, so many I wondered if maybe he would have been better dead. :) Glad to hear you’re back to the edits too.
