Any creative arc is never a straight line, so zigs and zags are to be expected. What so often works for me in problem solving (auto maintenance, most likely) is to completely take a break from the task at hand and often a solution then floods in from nowhere. All the best to you.
Regarding your bedbugs, do what our media has done since the last election: realize that they aren't Donald Trump and they will no longer be seen as a problem. If that doesn't work, try pushing them left.
