You may want to talk to a counselor...  I think it's depression of some sort.  
I have that problem at times.  At times like these, I just say, "phuck it," 
and either do something else or suck it down and keep going.  After all, what 
else is there to do these days, especially if you're not working?

Or maybe it's not that, but a lack of focus, discipline?  I've been having 
trouble with this, too.  The excuse I'm using is that I'm trying to get my 
chops back (I've been playing on my drum set for 4 months now), so instead of 
writing drum parts for a drumming score and trying to create a new genre, I'm 
spending 20 hours a week practicing on my feet and hands.  I spend a small 
portion of that time working on drum set stuff.
