Oh god, I know the feeling. Look, you probably won't be able to write the way you used to, not right off the bat. Writing isn't any different from physical exercise. If you don't do it for a while, it's harder, you're out of shape, and you're not going to be able to work as effectively. Your work won't be as brilliant as it was. That's okay. It doesn't mean it won't ever be brilliant, it just means that you have to write some bullshit before you can write something great. You're capable of great. You just might be a little out of practice. I often feel like my writing talent is gone forever because it's not coming out like my best. It can be hard to remember that that isn't that case. But...it isn't.
Good luck to you with this story. It sounds like a cool idea. If it works, great. If it doesn't, no harm done, and try again.

Right now, I'm trying to write a short story of a black hole swallowing the earth.
