I feel you OP. I haven't written regularily in a decade or so as well and I do feel "strange" with this shift, because writing used to be an important part of my life.

I don't have any good advice. I can only say that I have figured out what happened in my case? (In the sense of "where did it all go/why am I not writing anymore?"). There is no great secret, just irregular working hours and much less of free time. I have recently attended a short series of creative workshops (4 meetings) with a friend (she really wanted to do it and I though it might be a good way of checking if I really still even can write anything). We had to write a short story every week. So I did write 3 stories. They were okay. It's still there, I still have ideas. But I also had to shorten my sleeping time by 1/3, cancel gym classes and refuse some extra work to fit the writing into my schedule. I had problems with meeting deadlines at work, anyway. So there's that for me. I haven't changed. My life and work schedule has, and I am not a quick writer. I'm not sure what to do with that.
