Where to Begin Again
So, the writing pace has slowed quite a bit over the past six months, By slow, I mean just about stopped. I did finish a short story over that period, but that's about it. There have a been a few notes written down in various places and a couple of sentences typed out now and again, but for the most part my energies have been focused elsewhere; mainly, in buying a house. But now that it's been over two weeks since the closing and most of our boxes have been unpacked, I'm ready to start writing again. The trouble is where do I begin?

That's always the problem. Do I begin again with a story that doesn't quite work; with the novel that's 3/4 done; with something new entirely?
Don't think about it too much. Just get on with it.
This is an eternal problem for me. Getting back into the swing after any lull takes me such a long time that it ends up contributing the lull. When you're outside looking in, everything looks so big and daunting.
