"I want to make a 'comeback' in writing and finally touch the subject that i avoided in my writing, child abuse"

Twenty years ago I went to Paris and started a writing career, published two novels in Dutch, translated in French. I worked as a pianist in Conservatories, at the side. 
My third novel got a huge grant but my publisher did not publish the book. That was the end of my writing career and inspiration. For the next 9 years, I only meditated and learned to sing. I now want to go back to an active life, reaching out to people. 
My inspirations are singing, and I want to express this. And I want to make a 'comeback' in writing and finally touch the subject that i avoided in my writing, child abuse. I need strength, conviction, discipline, and indeed, habits to get me there, and finally reach people. Because I now realize that that's what it's all about.
