actually things will be picking up in a few weeks for me....weekly Thursday night Blues jam starting on the 19th, I've got an instructor concert at Vanguard University on the 20th (Mike Stern tunes at 9am), our cover band and blues bands are starting to pick up gigs and I have a friends band calling me for weddings and stuff. I think folks are starting to remember my phone neumber.

First I have to write something that people want to listen to.
Considering how long it takes you to even record a cover, that might take a while.

I have been working on my solo EP for a decade now.
And in that time I've released 3 albums and one EP with 3 different bands.

In that decade I have played on three albums for other people, produced a song that got local radio airplay, and scored three short films, but can't finish a frickin' 5 song EP.

In my mind at least 2 of the albums are actually quite good. I can still listen to them without facepalming myself.

Yeah, you suffer from the typical solo project disease. You're too close to the songs/too picky to get them done.
When that happens, sometimes it's a great idea to get someone else to record and mix it.
I'm often too self-critical when it comes to my songs, and have with time learned to just say "fuck it, that's good enough".

We did sell quite a bit of them, and reports I've gotten indicates that they were quite good.
I routinely get people coming up to me when I'm in the pub or something, telling me how much they miss one of the bands.
The other one was the internet prog collaboration I did (Azureth). Reviews for that album were very good, so I choose to believe them.
